Are You a Closeted Atheist, or an Open Atheist? I mean, do you fake it sometimes?

32. I openly admit I'm an Atheist

I try to respect other people's religious beliefs and practices. I've been to memorials in churches for those who died, dinners where a blessing is given, and while in the AF official functions where a benediction was given. I don't bow my head or say "grace" but I'll sit at "attention," not moving, saying anything or doing anything that would interrupt the ceremony.

Unlike some religious people, I don't go door-to-door selling my religious beliefs. I don't initiate conversations on religion or my religious beliefs. One thing I won't do is let someone try to force their religion on me or try to intimidate or humiliate me because I'm an Atheist. When they do, I'll give it back to them more than they give to me.

If people, especially Christians, want respect for their religion then they have to show respect for those who don't share their beliefs, like us Atheists.
