Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Yes. I don't trust people in general because look at how many imbeciles trust Donald Trump. He's a modern-day Jim Jones, and it's heartbreaking to see people I've known my whole life passionately drink his Kool-aid.

It doesn't. I am who I am. If society doesn't like it, it's society's problem. Sounds like society has some issues to work on.

I have experienced far more sexism than atheism- related bias. And now that I'm working in a hospital, I'm subject to elitism. Tons of doctors will not take a suggestion about patient care from a mid-level like me, but if the same suggestion comes from a doc, suddenly it's a fabulous idea.

That sounds incredibly irritating. Sexism is everywhere, it's like background radiation.
@DZhukovin thank you for telling me how things work at my job, however I assure you I have far more insight into this topic than you seem to believe. I assure you there are no laws in my state that prohibit an MD from considering and accepting a suggestion from a nurse practitioner. Your comment looks an awful lot like mansplaining and is not welcome or appreciated.
@DZhukovin I see you are engaging in the classic misogynistic tactic of going on the attack when a woman calls you out on your sexist behavior. Calling me immature and resorting to profanity do not change the facts. You minimized my lived experience and acted as though you knew better than I did the events I described from my own job.
Social bias?
I'm a woman, and part Native American, but still pass as Caucasian, so not much bias unless I say something controversial-as I usually do.

@TheMiddleWay What are you talking about? I'm a nonbinary partial transmale, therefore, my label is "other." What do you mean by "alien?" You are starting to make me uneasy and start looking at the "block" button for trolls.
@TheMiddleWay It certainly wasn't me. I guess we women all look alike.
They might not call themselves atheists, but there are huge numbers of non-believers who never go to church, even here in my rural neighborhood. Even among church-goers only a tiny fraction give a damn what your opinions are about religion.
If you trumpet your atheism in a way that demeans believers I imagine you would be met with defensiveness or hostility, but in that case it would be you who was biased, not society. I might even argue with you.

Why you need to know somebody else's business?

I'm assuming your referring to being part of the most dis-trusted minority - atheist.
I have learned to keep my religious beliefs (or non-beliefs in my case) to myself unless the other person admits being an atheist first. I'm self employed and can tell you first hand religious or semi religious people will not trust an atheist.

If you're talking about prejudice against atheists, then I'm fortunate to live in a country where there isn't such a thing, as most people are either the wishy-washy 'you'll go to heaven if you're good' kind of believers or openly atheist and vocally scathing of the pious... In fact, even the wishy-washy believers often chuckle at the 'god-botherers' — that's great! ?
