Anyone have any advice on starting a college secular club/group with getting harassed?

I'd say try not to respond, as annoying and frustrating as it is. If you're in a conservative area, I wouldn't trust administration to have your back. In fact, call it paranoia, but I wouldn't find it hard to believe they'd be looking for a reason to put a target on your club as disruptive, even when you're the victims.

I would not expect much of a problem....unless it is a religious school. Even here in the Bible Belt, at least many have Secular groups. You will get the odd troublesome bible-thumper no matter where you go.

Expect it. Deal with it. It is worth the rewards.

But that's what they said about going to heaven! =)

Your university likely has a chapter of Secular Student Alliance

What he said. Look up secular student alliance. They can help you start a chapter if you don't already have one. I was in one in Mississippi. Granted, we had very few members, harassment was not an issue. I had the sticker on my laptop, and no one every came up to me about that. I'm pretty scary though, if I decide to be. That being said, I was too much of a chicken to put it on my car. I kinda like its exterior

Why would a secular college club or group be harrassed?

They don't call em Holy Rollers for nuthin @birdingnut

Birdingnut, you must live in a more liberal place than I do. You can't even put a secular bumper sticker on your car in East Tennessee for fear your car will be vandalized.

@Eazyduzzit agree. Try Mississippi. I saw cars vandalized that had Darwin fish on their bumpers

@Blizzard
It's astounding that in 2018 this country has gotten so backward in some areas. It won't surprise me if Republicans start up witch trials again.

@Eazyduzzit yes it's incredibly sad
