But is alright for them to try and convert us with their belief. Ugh!!! Freaking people!!!

Shana's just worried that if you tell her religious friends, they will disapprove of her because she's friends with you.

If asked, or if you are a participant in an open conversation, and the topic comes up, I believe you should say honestly where you stand. For me, that means: I believe in science, the immutable laws of physics, and ethics, and I am a great lover of history, but no - I don't believe that the Jesus story as literal truth. Yes there may be other-dimensional beings, but there is no omnipotent creator being such as Christianity has described it. And while meditation and stress reduction is vital to overall health and healing; prayer does not cure disease, medical science does.

I don't care if I make people uncomfortable with my lack of belief in their delusions.
They don't seem too terribly concerned about making me uncomfortable.
Normally, I live by the whole "Do unto others..." thing. However, if you're going to get in my face and tell me your "truth", you get to hear mine in rebuttal.
Shana would have gotten an earful from me on the subject. I don't think your friend respects you very much.

It's crap that people think what they think about atheism but it's good advice since the world at large at least in the US is largely Christian who are at odds with atheism often times in an uncivil manner.

Life is boring if you are always comfortable Don't be silenced if people don't want to hear what you have to say well who needs them

If you have a 'friend' who tells you to "keep your Atheism/Agnosticism to yourself" then that is a 'friend' you would be far better off not having at all.

I was warned not to wear my OM pendant in a new neighborhood I had moved to or I would be ostracized. Turns out, it was instructions

When you say you're 100% certain that there is no or s (as you do in your profile) then I can understand why why someone might take issue. Saying "I know there is no or s" is an assertion that must be supported, and as far as I've seen there's no reason to think belief is more or less likely than nonbelief. My current answer is I'm not sure and I don't feel that you shouldn't have the right to feel how you want to but I do feel that you should see why folks might not be so closed off to the idea of a or s.

So she dosen't care about your feelings I think you should unfriend her

I am beginning to think that many people don't believe as strongly as they think they should, and are scared of someone saying they don't believe in case it is contagious.
