A question for the Atheist of OT!

Are you very vocal about your lack of faith IRL? Do your friends/acquaintances and/orfamily know? Or do you just vent it out on the internet mainly? I've always been curious about this. For me, I am very vocal about my stance on organised religion but it doesn't seem many Atheist are like me.

My family and friends know.

I don't dish out my opinion all that much anymore on here,

only when the situation calls for it.

I don't randomly spout out anti-religious nonsense for the sake of doing it.

No. I'm not that vocal about it, since it's a personal thing. I don't feel the need to walk around and tell everyone that I don't believe in a god. What would be the point of that?

family and friends know if they've asked, but I don't bring it up much. If someone trys arguing with me I'll tear them to shreds, but I don't ever start religious debate or discussion.

I don't vent it anywhere, including on the internet. If I'm asked, I respond in as to-the-point a manner as I can.xaos

My family, friends and most teachers know about my lack of faith, they just don't care enough to start discussions about it though. Opposed to here, where topics are created often for the sole purpose of discussing theological views, so I can't be as vocal offline as I am online.

See the reason I asked is because most tell me they are generally afraid to discuss it anywhere outside of the internet, so I just asked around here to find out if you guys had similar feelings.

It's not that I am afraid, it's because I don't feel the need to be blatantly disrespectful.

Or to get modded.

I'm vocal about it around my friends and family, but I'm not around strangers simply because I don't want to offend anyone (or start a useless debate). If someone asked I certainly wouldn't lie though...

I've never been afraid to express my opinion... i just think there are some close minded people that don't want to hear an alternate idea.

No. I only talk about it when I have to (i.e. when someone asks me about it)

My family know, and most of my friends are Atheists anyway.

I'm only vocal about it to my family, and that's only if it's in reference to something on TV. I've been stopped by Christians in town who are "spreading the word" and I'm quite happy to stand and talk with them for a bit about their faith. If it keeps them at peace then good luck to them.

Only if someone's pushing their faith on me, I'll tell them straight out. Otherwise I don't.

Alsolol atthe use of the term "lack of faith". :P

Atheism and religion are both stupid. Agnosticism is the only way that makes sense.LiftedHeadshot

Get off the fence :P .

The UK isn't overly religious, so it doesn't come up much...or is particularly important. I had a short conversation about it with a muslim friend of mine once about it, but that's about as far as it goes. Religion (even a lack thereof) just isn't relevant or particularly important to me.

That dosen't make any sense. You can be agnostic about atheism or religion (or both), you can also be gnostic about religion or atheism (or both.)

I, for example, am an agnostic atheist. Which means I lack the belief in the existence of a deity. The term "agnosticism" doesn't really say much.

I only respond when asked. I don't go out of my way to spout it to others and make them know I'm an atheist. Though, if they come up with some silly misconception, I can guarantee you I'll destroy it, and won't relent until it is destroyed.

I'm not vocal about my lack of faith because I don't enjoy people rambling on about how much they love god. If someone asks, I'll answer.

I only talk about my atheism when people want to known or when people attack atheism in a ridiculous manner.

I don't like lie about it if people ask or anything, but I think only a few of my friends know.

It just doesn't come up all that often in conversation for me. It's a bit difficult to go from the subjects of videogames, movies, school classes, and random stuff onto the subject of religion

My family and friends know.

same here

If people ask, I tell them I'm atheist, if people don't ask, I don't tell them. Why would it matter anyway?

I try to respect those religious jerks, but I won't back dwn from a good religious arguement., so yeah...pretty much everyone knows.

When I abandoned my Christian faith, I only told my family and closefriendsthat I was now an atheist,

Well why are they jerks?

I don't bring it up myself, but if people try to debate me or something I school them.

No. I just don't care.

If anyone asks me, i tell them straight up. But it is really none of their business anyway. If a religious person badgers me about it, i give them both barrels. I dont ask or care about what religion they follow, why should they care what i believe? My family knows exactly how i feel about it.

i dont know why but i love laughing at the title

All my friends and family know that i am a atheist. But i try to keep my opinions low in public on the whole concept. Since some people get really annoying and won't leave you alone if they find out you are atheist.
