Brit Atheist Moving to USA

[The Reality Salesman01]

Hi everyone!

I am a British atheist who has relatively recently proposed to my fiancé, an American agnostic. If all goes to plan I will be moving to Philadelphia in around 7 months to be with her. Obviously this is a tremendously exciting time but I would also like to know of other atheist's experiences of moving to a country that has a prolific religious population. I have visited the USA four times and have had no problems, but yet got an overwhelming sense of the idolisation of jesus christ, especially from my extended family and people on the streets. I would very much appreciate any tips, advice or discussion that follows this post, especially from those who have been in a similar situation to myself.

Thank you very much, and i'm glad to have found this forum.

Welcome Adam!

With a name like that, you should fit right in with the fundies

Just kiddin'! Lay in to them. That's my advice. The days of biting tongues have gone on long enough in my opinion. As time goes on, I find myself being less and less discrete with my take on the insanity that gets publically tossed around like a hacky sack-I'm done playing this game, and I never asked to participate. Offense is taken not given, and there's no reason you should be expected not to be yourself while they get a pass on being nuts! At any rate, I think you'll enjoy yourself here, both in the US and AF! See ya around the forums! Cheers!

How did you make that cute little rainbow come up near the thread title? I feel unequipped to deal with ornamentation on my threads.
