Losing friends
Has anybody else felt isolated from people after telling them you are an atheist? I was raised Jewish in the Bible Belt and just realized a few years ago that being affiliated with any religion is better in the Bible Belt than not believing in any higher power. I’ve definitely been discriminated against more as an atheist! Should I even bother trying to explain that I still have morals and empathy?

Gosh, that must be difficult. I'd say chose your battles, some people are just closed and have made their minds up about you, some people have more humanity. Very best wishes to you.
