I am going to post on a rather sensitive topic: What do you all think of someone who is as militant about their atheistic beliefs as fundies are about Xtianity? I've been a bit upset lately by a friend who has zero tolerance for other peoples' beliefs. I say live and let live, unless they are very conservative. QAnon, or Bible-thumpers. As an organist, I play hymns for a tiny rural congregation of Episcopalians. I am an agnostic, and they are liberal, but have different beliefs than I do. I don't hang around after I play. They pay me. I give most of the money either to my disabled son or the ACLU. My friend is livid that I continue to play there, as I am comfortably retired, and he doesn't think I need the money. I don't think it's any of his business, and that he's being an intrusive busy body. BTW, I am by far not the only agnostic or atheist organist. There are many. The organ is a cool instrument, and most are located in churches. What, if you were me, would you say to my friend?
I've been pretty much live and let live. When approached by religious persons who try to spread their beliefs, I just tell them I have no interest in organized religion. If they persist, then I will say things which may undermine their beliefs, but at that point where they refuse to leave me alone they deserve it.
