Sometimes people ask me what my religion is, and I tell them, I'm an Atheist. What do they do? Look at me like im scum. I feel as if they want to spit on me. I'm not a very stereotypical person, but what I see is Christians and Catholics looking down upon me. Now, it's not like I walk around telling people, "Hey, there is no God, there is no God!", but people ask, and then they scoff. Pretty much what happens is they look at me like, "What makes you so special?", so I look at them like, "What room do you have to judge?". People see me around, they turn their heads, but why? Because I don't believe in Vishnu? Or Zeus? Or Jesus? I would rather say that I when I die I will be there, in a casket, or an urn, just to decay, rather than worship a carpenter. Who is to say that Jesus wasn't exaggerated? Religions in general, I have seen, and what I see is just to point out a reason for living, but would you rather live your life and do what you want, or be constricted by what we call society?
