I live in Georgia, USA and the religious groups here run hard. There is a guy who hangs out at the pizza place i work at and he has done some background stuff for a few horror movies and seems like a really genuine person but once religion came into a conversation and i told him i was atheist he immediately told me that he felt sorry for me. i told him don't because i don't feel sorry for you about yourself believing in a supreme being. after much discussion i quoted Stephen Henry Roberts by saying, "I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." he nodded and we ended the conversation.
everyone in my family knows i am atheist except my father who i believe it would crush him and i enjoy our conversations. i bring up points about his life that contradict his personal beliefs and i leave it at that. his mother, when my brother and i told her that we had a friend that was buddhist she cried for a good 30 mintues....she never listened to the radio unless it was gospel.
