[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just say I’m not religious[/quote]
As do I.  People usually just interpret that as I don’t go to church vs. I don’t believe in a higher power. Or I say I was raised Catholic (true) but don’t expand. I think atheism is like the last taboo thing in the US.  I think it’s changing as young people distance themselves from religion. [/quote]

More taboo than, say, BDSM, being either progressive or MAGA in the wrong crowd, or talking about your STD in public? The victimhood is strong.[/quote]

Being a Muslim in the US is much worse than being an atheist. [/quote]

Interesting that you should say that. That's your opinion, obviously, but I don't think you could really know.  In my experience, it's better to say you believe in something, rather than nothing.  Better to believe in some iteration of god than none at all.  It's as if people in the US have learned somehow to respect people's differing faiths but not to respect people who don't have a religious faith.   I do think it's changing, especially among young people.[/quote]
