Reference to the “miraculous” by the simple-minded discredits and devalues the hard work and sacrifices of doctors, firefighters, scientists and many, many others whose contributions often make life better for us all. Believers should realize how rude they are and learn to just say “thank you!”

I’ve found this to be fairly accurate many times, even when looking at myself. Not claiming to be super intelligent, but I think the smarter one is, the better one can rationalize things ... It can get even worse if one has letters after one’s name, as in academic degrees, because that can add a good dose of self-righteousness.

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, of course I applaud the non-discrimination aspect, especialky since I was once denied a job for which I was totally qualified solely because I did not “accept” a mythical being as “my lord and savior.” On the other hand, defining non-beliefs as a form of religion is disingenuous and confirms popular misconceptions anout atheism/agnosticism. Knowing that FFRF knows this, however, leads me to suspect this is an “advocacy compromise” common when doing legislative work. All in all, good work FFRF!

I’m sorry to hear it's been that difficult for you. My experience has bern very different, and my lack of belief hasn’t taken such a toll on family (we seem to accept differences of opinion). I abandoned spiritual/religious ideas as a teenager, so friends do not expect this from me, plus friends also can agree to disagree. Fantasies? I see them either as metaphors or a thing of my childhood years. Just a different situation to yours.

I just read a disturbing post from one of our Agnostic Ladies whom I have great respect for.

I may have seen that post as well, and my reaction is similar to yours: a kind of sad/angry amazement that those ideas are still around and have any traction in the modern world.

I always wanted to be a millionaire… But APPARENTLY you have to have a million dollars first.
The-Krzyz comments on Feb 7, 2019:
I’m a millionaire, on paper. The reality is, I’d say my lifestyle is middle-middle class, at best. Most of any money I have is tied up: half in property (I own my home near Los Angeles), and half in investments, which generate a modest income. What it gets me is some freedom and some security, but not a lot of disposable cash for extravagant spending. Most people’s image of millionaires date back to pre-inflation days. I worked hard for years to get here, and am glad I saved over the years. I value that freedom and security more than any shiny baubles or chances to show off.

Hiding your lack of faith at work
The-Krzyz comments on Feb 6, 2019:
I facilitated a caucus session for people who question religion/spirituality at a national conference in the US a couple of years back. A LOT more attendees than I anticipated, many from “Bible Belt” states. Most of them said that they felt unsafe being open as nonbelievers or skeptics at work (and elsewhere) and a situation in which they could safely talk about this was rare for them. Especially in small towns, there aren’t many firewalls between work and the rest of your life. Even in the more urban and diverse environments I usually work in, however, often religious people are in the majority, and they tend to assume that everybody is like them. I try not to “go there” unless cornered, and often simply say that I’m “not interested” in religion. If pushed further, THEN I’ll tell them that I think the god of the Bible is a psychopath and that Jesus was a really bad carpenter.

This has been my experience, as well: people are less likely to question the value of religious faith or spirituality. My pet theory, based on what I observe in part of my own community (Polish Catholic): In times of Bondage, occupation and oppression, our churches were a big part of the struggles for freedom and liberation. It’s a double heritage that can he difficult to turn one’s back on. (Room for lots of irony here!) What do you think?
