I think GearsOfWar was being satirically sarcastic. And I saw your location so I knew they were rednecks, but I'm just saying you shouldn't really value their opinion, their mental state is a few centuries old.

Dont worry. I have a diffrent religion from most of my friends, and they dont say anything so neither will your parents or w/e lol!
Put up with church eventhough I probably wouldn't want to be preying to something I dont believe in.
You don't have to tell your parents until your ready but it will come up one day.
That is exactly like me. Im atheist (im thinking of being pagen? i have a friend who is and its interesting) and my mom knows it, i hate church, my friends dont mind. Just tell your friends. If you lose a couple, they cant be a good friend. Its better to have a few best friends that alot of friends. Telling them isnt all that hard, or atleast it wasnt for me, but it seems to be needed for you to tell them so just... tell them.
I Think the owner of this thread was talking about people like you that say stuff like this (The bold spot)Quote:

Many people have their own opinions and sometimes its better to keep them to yourself.
Would it not be quite ironic if your christian friends hated you for being atheist?

They are a part of who you are, and you should be able to express yourself in all the ways you possibly can. Don't let yourself hold yourself back, because it will get you no where. As of the friends part, just talk to people about it. Be open, you'd be suprised at how people are today. You just never know.
Hope that helped!
I use to be a Christian and quite a lot of my friends were and still are Christians but once I told them that I was an athiest they were fine with it. Later on I moved on to become a Buddhist and they are fine with that. As long as I respect their religion they will respect mine. I believe that a true Christian is someone who accepts people for who they are instead of their religion and I know that most do.
Just tell them. They will respect you for having your own beliefs.Quote:

Also, atheism is actually a big word. You're atheist because you don't believe in God or because you actually dislike to go to church ?
I'm not asking you this because I believe you're stupid, but because it happened in my school to have sort of "atheists", that didn't have a religion just because of laziness.
And yes, I think GearsOfWar was ironic. Not even christians believe in that now, and this includes me.
