And why do some people, even agnostic theists or others without any religious affiliation, get so surprised when someone says 'I am an atheist'?
Secular? hock:
About 75% believe in god here. Saying you believe in god automatically makes you morally superior.
Doesn't matter that many of their morals would cause our atheist morals to blush.
