I never get crap for being an atheist, the occasional conversion attempt, but no more common than if I were a Christian of a different form of Protestantism. |
I've been to all sorts of cities all over the USA and a few outside the USA. I like the countryside. Unfortunately it is common to find people of faith in the countryside.
This reminds me of a story. There was a rich eccentric from Switzerland that decided to build a center for medieval studies he called the Nautilus Center. His name was Françoise Bucher. He chose a little place populated with staunch conservative Christians called Lloyd Florida. People thought he was crazy, out of his mind. When asked why he did it he would say that if there are any people on the face of the earth that could benefit from it, it would have to be these people. So I guess I would say the same thing. If there are any people on the face of the earth that could benefit by being exposed to an atheist it would have to be these people.
