We need to stand up and be counted.

    Being an atheist in a rural area is not easy. One of the first questions someone asks is -what church do you go to? People look horrified when you mention atheism. My employer says Christian prayers over employee meals, with the head of HR clasping her hands, lowering her head, and praying right along. Constantly awkward. Religion has an iron grip out here.

    Then again, I always wish that many religious people would not stand up so vocally and be counted so much ;-)
