America... I'm fascinated with your OTT religious ethics (Bible bashers). Like Saudi Arabia for Christians.
I don't entertain religion for a second, you're either a follower or a thinker.

im in waco. i have a cousin that has a prostitution charge (a guy) that shoots off when christmas is spelled 'xmas' - "you're taking christ out of christmas.'.. his sister - my other cousin says i'm going to hell but not for being a non-believer (i haven't told them) but for other shit that is a long story. their mother - my aunt - was a piece of work. long story. but the way i deal with them is i never see them any more. my parents are dead - my mother was the believer ... i digress

I live about 15 miles from TX, and a lot of the culture of west TX seeps in here. I stay in the closet because I'd rather not lose my job. I don't go to church, and I steer clear of churchgoers (as much as I can). So far it works, but it is kind of tiring dealing with all the "have a blessed day" BS

The only time I've really had an issue was the day my 11yo daughter came back from visiting a church with her friend (we allow freedom to explore) and she came back with a free tee-shirt. I asked about the shirt, she'd been tricked into getting baptized (you know, dunked in the jesus pool). We had to do some damage control, but she doesn't actually believe and wasn't aware of the significance - just wanted the tee shirt. I did have fun with the youth pastor - "you committed her everlasting soul and didn't even inform her parents!!!"

Other than that, I just smile, nod and make sarcastic comments that go over their heads.

I have made it clear to them that I'm atheist.

Raised in Dallas,Tx my whole life. For me the family thing has not been an issue, my brothers, sister & mother are atheist as well. I never broadcasted my religious views in HS, probably would not have gone well. Friend or not, everyone knows it now. The number of people who identify as non religious grows more and more every year and that gives me a bit of comfort.

I live in central Texas!

Now there are more tattoos parlors than churches!

It is the republican fascists who are elected to govern Texas that are overtly religious anti feminist and discriminatory to those who are not of the wealthy and corporate class of greed worshiping faux religious thugs!

I live in Texas. Most of my friends and colleagues are medium religious. Everyone is polite. And we get along quite well. My family is not that religious. So I'm lucky.

Haven't meet any super religious people except when trying to date - so many beautiful women lost to a life of delusion! It's a pity. Anytime a woman mentions "Jesus", I swipe right!

I live in Texas. I ignore most of my family. I have worked hard to cultivate friends who think as I do.

I have lived in Texas since 1956, worked here, raised a family here, retired here and I have never had any issues with religion from my family or co-workers.

Moved here from California (work transfer). Can't answer your question, but wanted to add my voice as another in Texas dealing with religious co-workers and the like. Mostly not discussed (probably as it is an office environment with a multi-national workforce), Being in a larger city probably helps with that.

Born and live in Dallas.

I ignore them.

Texas here. Born and raised.

I tend not to discuss my views without being asked. When I do, I’m honest. But I understand the culture. You’re not going to change anyone’s mind, not likely, not around here. I’ll have honest discussions with those who I think can have an intellectual conversation about it. I don’t talk to the more bigoted people. When it comes to family, like my mother, I don’t bring it up. It serves no purpose to tell my religious mother that I don’t believe in her god or any god. It’s just not worth hurting her or going through that conversation.

I’m glad I have close friends who respect my views, and even those who share them. But overall, live and let live. As long as it doesn’t infringe on my life, I just let it go.

I moved into Texas 6 months ago. I had no family where I was before. There is family here. They are still not as religious as the remaining family in a third location I grew up in.

But I don't know the answer to your question. I mainly just roll my eyes quietly a lot at this place.

Welcome to the asylum. Enjoy your stay.

I lived in Texas. I moved out of Texas.
