It was an odd question, for sure. But the big issue is the rude response.

“At one point, a member of the new family was talking with me about how much they are going to miss their old church and I was empathizing how hard it can be to leave a community and make a new one in your new home when they asked me about my faith, where I go to church etc. I breezily said, oh, I'm an atheist, and tried to keep the conversation moving but [b]they seemed taken aback - as if I had said something really impolite[/b]. “

above is from op.

The new neighbor was taken aback but didn’t say anything rude or make any unkind judgments- and that’s what op has her panties in a bunch about? That’s rude?

No. Op is a sensitive atheist who invited many people to her home and op was encouraging this conversation. It’s a regular get to know a new person conversation.

Every interaction atheists have with religious people is considered rude because religious people mention their religion or church? And op told her new neighbor she was an atheist and new neighbor didn’t know how to respond? That’s the pinnacle of rude behavior?

Face it- op wants to be offended. It’s pathological. Now a multi-day, multi-page thread about a taken aback new neighbor. Who didn’t utter a single negative word about atheism. [/quote]

Yes, that’s rude. You really need that spelled out to you?
