While I am here, I just as well join in, I am English and the way I see it, it seems ok to be anything you want to be these days, so why worry what anyone else thinks?
I am not a total atheist but who actually cares? I think being an atheist is a good call, how can anyone fear “the big sleep” I don’t remember anything before I was born, and if that’s what our fate is when we die, then we have nothing to fear….happy days.
The best advice is “live every day like it’s your last”…. Because one day you will be right!

Because in many places in the US it means being cut off from your family, friends, the only support group you've ever known, could result in being made homeless, or any aide being cut off. It could result in being verbally and physically abused as well.
Wow… really? I am pleased to say that in the uk, “in general “ that is not the case…
I can’t imagine “pretending”” to believe something just to keep a roof over my head…. Fook that!
The concept of “God” is that he “forgives” …
Wow.
That sounds awful! In Germany nobody cares (only in some rural areas maybe but not at this degree)
