[quote=Anonymous]There was something OP specifically did that led them to believe she was a church-goer: "...a member of the new family was talking with me about how much they are going to miss their old church and [b]I was empathizing how hard it can be to leave a community and make a new one in your new home[/b] when they asked me about my faith, where I go to church etc. I breezily said, oh, I'm an atheist..." They thought OP was talking about finding a new [i][b]faith[/b][/i] community, because that's what they were talking about. They weren't expecting OP to say she was an atheist because they assumed, based on the context of what they said and OP's response, that she was a church-goer. That's why it was awkward. Not because they hate atheists or have never met atheists, but because they were genuinely surprised by OP's response. They were talking about church, OP was talking about her bowling league or whatever, but they thought she meant church.[/quote]
