One of my teachers said that "Religous people have church, atheists have biker gangs".

I don't think my mouth closed for the rest of the day.

When I was in highschool I went to an extreamly conservitive and christain school crying . I did not ever go as far as say "I am atheist" at every givin second, but I was not ashamed of it. so when someone asked what cherch I went to I said I was atheist. At least once a day for two years, they tried to convert me xd . Though only once was I ever dumbfounded, and that was when a teacher told me everything I believe in was wrong eek , and at another time (same teacher) told me an angel was always watching me.

And in another way, that's also a stereotype. crying

I love how people think you need religion to be a decent human being.


It is so sad how society has sunk so low for people to think that you actually need to be afraid of burning in a fiery hell for all of eternity just to be nice to someone.

I was kicked out of a forum because I said that some chick had a hard time accepting other ideas about religion and that she should be more open... She later insulted me and called me Samantha from Bewitched.

This has lead me to believe that some people are mean *sniff*
Also that people are raceist... or religionists... or whatever. People look down upon Athiests... or it could be just me... evil

Stereotype? how the hell could you stereotype athiests? THat's stupid, I hate stupid people. Atheist's are very intelligent and independent thinkers, (most of the time anyways) that's why we don't believe in religion or god or whatever. We're independent. I've always felt that Athiest always got a bad rapp. We're no different than the jewish or christians. THe only difference is that we don't believe the hype. Yet if you mention ATHIEST in front of any religious not they'll be reaching for there pitch forks and molotov cocktails sooner than you can say "Jesus Christ!" that's always pissed me off. For a religion that is supposed to be all about unity, love, peace, and such. They sure are a bunch of Hypocrates.

I think that people who stereotype us Atheists are uncomfortable with their own religion. Like some people in guild Im a teenager the goes to a Christian/Rap dominated school. Nobody knew I didnt believe in God until my School held a group prayer. When I was told to pray I said no and everyone questioned my religion. If I wanted Christianity shoved down my throat id go to church. Im not saying I am AntiChrist but i hate being stereotyped as a devil worshipper because i dont under god in the pledge of allegiance.

Now THAT's an awesome stereotype. Personally, I wouldn't mind having everybody think I associated with bikers, because bikers are just that cool.

Hmm... In some way I agree with him (itsy bitsy part) I mean i don't like people saying oh you dress or believe this that means your a terrorist! but If the people are steriotyping you to be tough ot whatever then they wont bother you. I really don't like people bothering me so its cool. On the other side im not... that.. tough.... sorta ninja . And their believeing a Lie.

I agree with you completely. Im an Atheist and I wont deny it in public. Im also in high school and at the top of my class. Its sad that we live in a world where the only thing people have judge us by is our beliefs.

At my school, upon hearing that I didn't believe in God, some dude said to me, "You're gonna go to Hell!".

If I believed in Hell in the first place, I'd be vaguely concerned. stare And I'm sure that goes for the rest of y'all as well.

Here's a question I was asked and it has been bugging the shiz outta me. Since atheists don't believe in god, does that mean we can't sin? question

The fact that I always want to be a villain in every video game or game I play makes people think it's part of my atheism.
