I work in a 4 piece band. 3 nonbelievers, 1 believer. Not a problem.

When I worked I never gave it much thought. The only one that tried to push religion on me was my immediate supervisor and I reported her to HR.

There are religious people that have a difficult time understanding how someone can be atheist. I think it's a challenge for them because it makes them question their own faith, and that's probably why they are always on the defensive.

Nope... is just your Paranoia acting up. But they sure enjoy you as a Pet.

Just ignore them and carry on being an awesome human being. It will frustrate them no end if you don't offer them an opportunity to "witness" to you.

At work I never talk politics, race or religion. Good way to get fired.

Was sitting in my cubical at work one day , when five or six male co-workers suddenly showed up at the open side , one of them carrying a Bible . Someone said to me , according to the Bible , you have to do anything we tell you to do . I responded , that's your religion , not mine , but let's have a look at the passage and see what it says . He handed me the Bible and I read the passage , which said , a woman should obey her husband . So I looked up at the group , and replied , "OK , which of you kind gentleman wants to marry me and support me in a style to which I'd like to become accustomed ?" One of them said , she's not falling for it , and the crowd faded away . It is not uncommon , in my life , to be attacked , using unsupportable arguments , intentionally screwed to effect an argument when the , "facts ," don't support the argument .

Let it go, sounds like you are looking for it, focus on your job.

No.

But then I bring cookies on a semi-regular basis.

Yeah used tow ork in a olace like that tehyw ould bring up religion constantly then when i gave them facts or debunked what they said they got pissy about it , ebpven to the point the manager told me to back off

No....I am now retired so don't have this problem. I never found any of my fellow workers like that, they all had affiliations with one religious denomination or another and this being Northern Ireland it was split between catholics and protestants . They were more concerned about the differences between themselves and left me alone....I was like neutral territory to them as I was neither one or the other!

I think you should play a gag on them. Rig a hidden speaker in the office. Then during the working day, stand up as if in a daze walk to the centre of the office, drop to your knees and start praying out loud, and ask god to answer. That's when your co conspiritor talks via the speaker with an altered voice, speaking as God. Set up a hidden camera to catch the reaction. Show them whose Boss.

Only look at them and pay attention to them when they are speaking on neutral subjects, being friendly and kind.

The moment they bring up religion, let your attention wander, look bored while mumbling "Um, hum-that's nice," look at your watch and go somewhere else.

If you are consistent, never giving them any attention except when they are behaving, they are quickly trained to avoid talking about religion.

No one in their right mind wants to set off the fuzzy gimp with a penchant for Heavy Metal.

no body knows I am agnostic, so I don't feel attacked..

I don't have that problem, but then again I possess The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
Just kidding ?

If your lack of faith is known to them then sure there can be a (sometimes not-so-subtle) undercurrent of distrust and otherization -- especially if there's nothing else for common cause to coalesce around, like a good company culture. If you're able to do so with minimal to no expectations, just keep being kind and welcoming to them and let them sit with the responsibility for being asshats, if they continue to choose that.

Not really... I am outnumbered big time, no doubt about it. However, since I don't really care what they believe, I don't get confrontational with them. Even if they are mislead into thinking I am one of them then that's fine with me too

In my case those attacks come mostly from family.

No, I don't.

I don’t talk about religion with my co-workers and if they do I just respond with platitudes. Don’t engage with them. Look for commonalities, not differences, that will help your situation.

If anyone brings it up, just say "Religion is not an appropriate topic for a place of business. Thank you."

Best defense...

Pick your battles, don't be drawn into one of their choosing.
