ATHEIST BULLY! What would YOU do? [View all]

Gag! ABC’s What Would You Do? Features Angry Atheist Yelling at Praying Family in a Restaurant. Christian Discrimination for Praying in Public | What Would You Do?

I haven't ever seen this and never expect to. However, I have Christian acquaintances who know I am an Atheist and have purposely asked me to lead everyone in prayer, making me very uncomfortable. I did it the first couple of times and then had had it with them and declined. They never asked again.
