I'm just asking this, I am truly intrigued by how Atheism is treated in America.
In England, Atheism is normal and mostly accepted. Judea-Christianity is almost non-existent in public life and the institution is seen as very boring by many. The leader of the Liberal-Democrats, Nick Clegg who runs the Coalition government with the Prime-Minister is an Atheist.
Now when it comes to America, forgive me if I am ignorant in regards to this, but I have watched interviews and documentaries which show that people believe Atheists are 'immoral', Atheists can't hold high-ranking governmental jobs and it's generally frowned upon?
I could be wrong, but that's the message I've gotten when watching such videos. If true, then has anyone experienced this? Amazing to see the difference in England..
Damn it. Made it in the wrong forum.
