1. Are you vocal about your atheism or do you shy away when religious discussion occur?
I don't walk around telling everyone I don't believe in god. However, when religion gets pushed in my face, I get pretty vocal about it. My mother in law is a borderline fanatic. She says dinosaurs don't never existed.
2. Do you politely agree to baptisms, circumcisions, weddings in churches, etc.. In order to appease religious family or societal pressures?
Yes, of course. I am respectful to others beliefs.
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?
I don't try and spread anything. People can believe whatever they want to believe in. I can respect that. Just respect me.
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?
Not really. That would make me the opposite of my mother in law. An atheist fanatic. Again, people can believe in whatever they want.
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 think in 100 years no one will believe in religion. An intelligent extra terrestrial will finally come visit us and tell us we're their experiment.
