feeling normal

[Jenny A]

i know it isn't as acceptable as christianity over there socially unlike western Europe. but still you got freedom.of association

Indeed we do.  And I am openly atheist without fear.  But it still isn't a popular position by any means. 

There is one group of people I do not tell:  my husband's family.  He is deist and they would be very hurt by that let alone my atheism.  I leave the choice of what to tell them to him because they are his.

I also am careful of what I say to people buying from me.  I am an artist and in some ways people buy the artist not just the art. So I am quiet with customers, though if asked, I'd tell the truth.  

But none of that compares in scale with being an atheist in a country where it is a crime.  My heart goes out to you.
