[quote=Anonymous]Atheism is a non-conformist belief. 3% of the US is atheist. 4% are agnostic. There is a lot of distrust of atheists. 55% of the US says that they would not vote for an atheist that was otherwise well qualified for public office. There is pressure from family and the community to be religious or be quiet. Anyone who is atheist and out is familiar with the distrust and pressure. Some people (younger, mostly) play with an atheist identify as a form of rebellion. Some atheists, on the other hand, are atheist because that is what they believe to be true. You can't characterize a group like atheists the way you can Christians. There are no holy books. There is no dogma. There is just a refusal to believe the holy books and dogma of theists. [/quote]
