The facebook inquisition

[Newswire]

It bothered me that people who practice a religion can just declare it openly but those who do not have to hide it or couch it in wishy-washy terms like "agnostic."

Good for him to have the courage to put 'atheist' in his profile. More folks should be honest like that.

I use MySpace instead of Facebook, but my profile states that I'm an atheist.

I wavered back and forth at times regarding whether I want everyone who reads it to know, but currently it's said it for a while now. My only major concern is when I'm starting to date someone and she doesn't know I'm an atheist yet. Sometimes people need to get to know me for me before learning about that because of the negative stereotypes associated with atheists.
