I'm tired of people's reaction when they learn I'm an atheist, so I'll no longer be an atheist.

[Binkie The Clown]

From now on I'm going to call myself a "godless heathen". At least then I will feel like I've earned their shock and dismay.

1. I've done that irl.

If they want to drop me as a friend, so be it.

2. It's great to live in the northeast US.

I've seldom noticed much reaction at all from mentioning I'm an atheist.

3. You should live here. Nobody cares.

Of course you'd have to put up with Socialist monstrosities like a public health system but it's not too bad.

4. I'm going to call myself a "godless heathen"

But y'are Blanche!

5. You make a very good point.

I will be stealing this.

6. My personal fav: "I'm a god-damned atheist!"

Makes me happy every time: along with this on the back of my car:

8. I've been lucky

I've worked with some pretty sharp lawyers in Houston over the last 20 years and most are liberal and atheist themselves. It's almost a given.

However, I'm about to "retire" from this job and we're moving south to a much more rural locale. I'm sure the contrast is going to be ... striking.
