It seems as though you guys and girls must be surrounded and bombarded by this religious shite day in, day out. What’s that like? Can you openly announce that you are Atheist without fear of recrimination? Do you think public officials (governors, sheriffs ect ect) could announce that there are Atheists and still be effective in their chosen career?
Welcome!
I'm an American, and many of us feel pity for ourselves for this situation we find ourselves in. I think we are in for a long struggle to become on equal footing (even though the total percentage of non-religious folk far out ranks other minorities that ironically have much more power). I forget where - but we have had a tiny bit of hope in a few areas where atheists were successful in finding governmental positions. However, this is not the norm, and probably won't be the norm for a long time.
