I've always been an atheist. So is my whole family apart from my uncle, who is a christian.
Even though I don't believe in god I've always found Religion quite interesting to learn about and how being an Atheist affects other peoples lives.
It was strange for me as I live in a small market town in england. And in my town and most places I've been to no ones given much care that I was an atheist.
In my small town, no one really cares what religion you are. Some people go to church, other people don't.
Its like I having a conversation with one of my friends and they asked me if I was religious and I said no, they said they were and basically said "Oh, cool" Then we just started to talk about something else.
He didn't care I was an atheist and I didn't care he was religious. Its basically like that everywhere I've been to, around the UK as I haven't been to the US that much, only twice on holiday to Orlando.
So it was so strange to me when I heard when I was young how Atheist in some countries where judged just because they were an Atheist. And how people could loose their friends and family over the whole issue of whether or not god existed.
When I was younger I know for some time I didn't even know people believed in a god. As no one had taught me about religion or talked to me about it so I just didn't know anything about it.
And thats what I wanted to find out more on. I've never ever been bullied because I was an Atheist. So yeah, personal experienced at coming out as an Atheist or realising you were an Atheist is something I'd love to know more about.
