Especially when they have known you for a while and know how good of a person you are. You can almost see the smoke coming out of their head from trying to understand how a heathen can be so nice. The "TILT" light comes on over their head. Very entertaining.

Queue the "You're not very nice if you ask this" responses. Really I think it's good for them to see it since it makes them rethink their worldview.

Me: You said "...you are a judgemental bigot"
I am judgemental where it is warranted, but I am by no means a bigot. I do not dislike people of any race or creed. I base my judgements on each individual. In this case, the only Christians who I have known that found out acted this way. I am smart enough to know that not all Christians will.

In the UK where I am from it is assumed an intelligent person is an atheist. And I say that in all seriousness by the way.

Homeland Security is having to place increasingly time and assets into monitoring Christians who search to rip up the charter, spoil democracy and foment a moment civil battle to put in a Christian dictatorship! A chilling caution was once issued to US police forces a couple of years again approximately the risk of a upward thrust in violent proper wing and Christian extremist corporations fuelled via recession and hostility over the primary black president! So it could be a long way worse if a homosexual was once elected! In March final yr federal marketers arrested and charged 9 participants of a Christian armed forces founded in Michigan, calling itself the Hutaree with plotting to homicide neighborhood police. The FBI has additionally made arrests in Seattle and San Francisco. Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez was once charged with making an attempt to homicide the President final yr! Seems those humans don't seem to be only a higher risk to American freedoms than outside terrorists however fully anti American!

Well I don't know about the atheists and agnostics, but as a pagan....or more specifically a Witch......I get some reactions that would knock your socks off. From catholics crossing themselves, to baptists looking for the nearest exit, to prayers being hurled at me as some form of mutated exorcism or something. Although, a very few do respond with curiosity. A little of it could be that I'm 5'11" tall and usually have on heels.........LOL

Most of my friends are Christians, and for the most part, the biggest reaction I've gotten is a very mild case of shock. I like to believe that's because I live a decent life, and don't lend any credence to the whole "immoral atheist" argument.
I have met a couple of...*loving, tolerant Christians*...who ridiculed me, or used the term 'atheist' as if it were a slur. In these instances, they were definitely the stereotypical uneducated Christian.

It doesn't happen very often, because I don't discuss religion at work or at school, and that's where I know the most people. If I am good friends with someone, you can bet that person is intelligent enough to be able to deal with it.

Wow...what a sweeping generalization. I'm a Christian and have many athiest friends and think no differently about them upon finding out they are athiest/agnostic. Judging by your post though I would guess you don't have many Christian friends as you are a judgemental bigot.

They just kinda blink and pretty much not really believe it, like you're just saying it out of spite or something. They just keep on talking as if everyone on the planet is Christian.

You wouldn't believe the reactions I got when I went to a Christian school. Laughter, wide eyes, name-calling.
But once I got through school, it was a lot more liek you described. :P

Probably not nearly as badly as they react when I tell them I am a Wiccan!
