Generalizations towards atheists are too common. It seems rare for an atheist to live a life without some sort of prejudice held against him/her. This thread could help to provide some answers to people who really don't know much about these sorts of things that atheists face... But for most of you it's about sharing these moments that we find ourselves in, and relating to each other through sharing these moments.

Here's the question: what have people said about you, or to you, relating to your atheist beliefs, and what was this like for you? Personally, I find these kinds of stories are among most interesting, comical, and satisfyingly easy for me to relate to.
------------------------------------------------
Here's just a few generalizations that are already very well known to these forums...
Atheists...
-Have no morals
-Are unlawful
-Have no meaning of life
-Are angry with God
-Have no hope
-Have no aspiration in life
-Are somehow incomplete
-Are narrow minded
