Atheists in the closet?

So basically what I'm saying is that America continues to be more religious than other countries because of capitalism.

Media types and talking heads tend to overdramatize everything, IMO.

For those that don`t believe this happens I offer this forum...

Cruise around in there awhile and you`ll find the venting of dozens of atheists dealing with the horrors of "coming out" to their friends and family .

FYI:The Darwin Fish emblem.

The company that sells these Emblems also sells insurance to get a replacement fish when it is vandalised by Christians.

Apparently they sell alot of fish insurance.

Just responding to the OP... yes, I have experienced tremendous discrimination since I 'came out'... but that's because I attend a fundamentalist Christian highschool where I basically flaunt it proudly.

My relationship with my Catholic mom has been strained considerably as well.

I can't speak in general terms for any greater 'societal' reaction I have or haven't experienced... I try to take things as individually as possible.
