Ever experienced bigotry from the religious for being atheist?
#25
RE: Ever experienced bigotry from the religious for being atheist?
When it came out (my mom was snooping on my FB and found I was a member of an atheist group, even though I had made efforts to not give her the privacy rights to it) that I was an atheist, my mother threw a fit. I was told not to talk about it. I told her that I wasn't going to lie to people.

A bit further down the road, my crazy fundie aunt turned a political discussion into a religious pissing match. My father called to yell at me about respecting the family and their beliefs while simultaneously telling me I couldn't express mine. He told me various family members had been calling about my views. The funny thing is, my father told me to call someone next time they picked a fight with my on FB. Yeah. Call them like they had the balls to call me. My fundie aunt was the only one to display dissatisfaction with my lack of belief, so my family is being even more sneaky. Fuck them, man. I'll make my own family.
