Atheism and socialization

Have you ever felt like a pariah for having atheist views? Especially meeting new people.

No, not at all. Nearly everyone I know is Christian, and they all know I am atheist/pagan, and we are all cool with all of it.

No - I don't think about other peoples views much as I am on my own program and they are on theirs if people talk about god to me I listen for them to understand them as far as I am able. So I don't think my atheism is any big shock to them - Someoen once did say oh that is an awful shame when I said I didnt have a god - and I rather thought it was sweetly naiive.

No, if people are unaccepting it's their loss and they're probably not very bright anyway.

No I’m straight up with my views unless I’m at work. Then I avoid politics and religion when talking to customers.

In my small town absoulutely but now that I'm a senior in college going for biology I have a hard time finding anyone that still believes in fairy tales with talking snakes.

I have been an outcast pretty much my whole life for my views on so called "gods", and various other alternative attributes.

Nope. When peopel "hun" me for my atheist views, I see it as if their doing me a favor, so i dotn' have to listen to their religious views.

No because I associate with people with other common interests when I do. I don't start a connection with something I think is such a personal belief.I havent been accosted as much as others with people trying to convert to challenge me but if that were to occur I would not want to associate with people like that

Not a pariah per se. But an outsider certainly. People are always very nice regardless of their beliefs but as soon as they realize I have differeinf religious views an invisible wall is thrown up. They’re still friendly, but I’ve been relegated to a different social class, that of unbeliever. Living and working in a small rural community doesn’t help either.
