[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Atheists are not victims these days. If anything, it would be worse for someone in my office to come out as a Christian than as an atheist. I'm guessing (at least) two are strong Christians but are hiding it (once in a while you see a remnant of ashes, or another's donations). [/quote]

I have really only worked in politically progressive environments where people are either not overtly devout, simply non-practicing, or, I assume, atheists or agnostic. I have never heard people talking poorly about religion or religious people, even if religion is somehow brought up. I never got the sense that it would be socially acceptable to do that, and I certainly would not have felt comfortable with being demeaning about people's religion, I never heard anyone make fun of religious beliefs, other than maybe an offhand remark about a very non-traditional or uncommon religious group. You might hear someone mention going to church in a very matter of fact way, in the context of talking about what they did on Sunday. If anything, it is just not a common topic of discussion.
