So I just participated in my first parade a an atheist for an atheist group. It went pretty well. There were a few people calling out things like "Jesus loves you." "God is real." "It's never too late." But overall pretty calm.
At the end a man yelled out very loudly "ATHEISTS!" I was a little concerned, but he then cheered us on.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Interesting. I've never heard the "It's never too late". My response would be: "Steppenwolf, 'At Your Birthday Party' -- 4th song on the 1st side of the album". If they went on: I'd mention that the name Steppenwolf is taken by the book of the same name, by Hermann Hesse. It's fun to watch the wheels spin.
