    Every time I tell a religious person I’m an atheist they either freeze up completely, which put a damper on the conversation, or they get very angry and tell me I’m disgraceful. My experience with religious people is that they are very uncool.

      To be fair, they’ve been conditioned that atheists are basically guys driving around in unmarked vans offering kids candy because atheism is SUPER bad for their business.

      You mean, I don’t have to get up on Sunday, I don’t have to be pressured to give 30% of my salary to the church, and I don’t have to deal with a bunch of racist, immoral pricks dotted around the congregation because they’re there for ‘forgiveness’ and I should be ‘accepting’ of that?
