I really get more lectures for being a bad Christian than anything. Some people in my life just refuse to accept reality.

Something I find annoying are those Christians that label anyone who was baptized as catholic, so if you are an atheist you're a bad catholic/christian, and you can't be anything else

You can be a good Christian, a bad Christian, or in denial.

I hope one day I'll come out of the closet, I think reactions won't be that bad as I'm thinking they will

When my aunt became a Muslim I literally popped myself a bag of popcorn and silently enjoyed the insanity in my parents living room. Yea we had a family meeting about it lol.

The only time I've ever had a "fight" with someone over religion was online with a woman I didn't know who friended me on facebook because (I guess) she liked the crafty things I was posting. Then I kept getting spammed with all of her "I love Jaysus!" and "God is Great!" posts. The final straw was when she started in on the "Keep the Christ in Christmas!" bullshit, so I started commenting on her posts about how Christmas and the iconic things we think of when we think of Christmas have their roots in pagan celebrations, and I started spamming her back with images like "Keep the Yule in Yuletide!" She lost her shit and we went a couple rounds back and forth before she unfriended me. No loss to my life. IRL, tho, very few people know I'm an atheist because it never comes up. I don't go around proclaiming what I don't believe in, hence I don't really suffer harassment.
