[quote=Thor;1041539]I'm very curious to hear from any fellow Atheists here what their thoughts are on these issues:
1. Are you vocal about your atheism or do you shy away when religious discussion occur?
-Vocal. I try not to shy away because I dont think being atheist or agnostic is anything to hide.
2. Do you politely agree to baptisms, circumcisions, weddings in churches, etc.. In order to appease religious family or societal pressures?
-Cant say this has come up yet
3. Considering the state of the world today with radicalism in religion from the USA to Iran at a noticeably growing rate, do you feel more responsibility to speak your beliefs and fight to spread atheism to friends/family?
-Atheism isn't something to be spread. It's a personal choice .. you either get it, or you don't.
4. Are you as an Atheist looking for a more focused plan and leadership online or locally to focus your efforts? Or would you prefer to not be involved in any Atheistic movements?
-Despite what I said in the last answer, an atheist movement which would show theists that we aren't immoral people is something the world needs. All to often, theists depict atheists as immoral and people who cant be trusted.
5. Finally, are you optimistic that hundred's of years from now religion will be much less of an influence on this world or are you of the belief that we are going to be under religious influence for a long long time to come?
-I know for a fact it will be. Every year that passes, science explains more and more, and religion is showed to be what it really is.
