[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I have Muslim friends who don't tell their co-workers their religion because they're afraid of how they'll react.  [/quote]

Religion and politics are generally not good topics in the work place. As an atheist, I don't discuss my lack of religion even among close friends. [/quote]Yes, that makes sense but are you afraid to tell your co-workers that you're an atheist or are you just displaying good manners?[/quote]

I am afraid of how they'll react, exactly like the PP said. I don't know how my boss privately views atheism. What if I get shitty assignments or get passed over for opportunities? What if it is just subtly reflected in my annual performance review? I'd rather not take that chance. [/quote]I totally understand that.  But you shouldn't have to hide.  It's one thing to  not discuss religion out of good manners.  It's another thing to feel you have to hide because of prejudice.  Christians at the office talk about what they're going to do for Christmas.  Muslims should be able to talk about the party they're going to for Eid.  [/quote]
