I have been having many problmes at school about beening a Atheist. I have even gotten into a few fights for no reason at all. Many people look at me all werid and think there so better then me and always say I'm going to Hell.
I want to know your options about this and what I should do.
If these people are so passionate about thier religion, they must have read from the Bible and learnt how important it is to love others as you love yourself. Another Christian belief is that everyone is equal and it is right to love everybody and put aside small differences.
These are not just for Christianity, it should be for everyone i believe in everyone is equal even though i am not religious

I can gaurantee you that you're not the only Atheist at your school, but you very well may be the only one who is stupid enough to out himself as one.
Did it not occur you that Atheism is looked down upon by 3/4 of the world? When did you make the decision to come out as an Atheist, and what the hell sort of response you expecting?

Uh, what? So just because most people don't agree with Atheists they should just keep their traps shut or suffer the wrath of anyone who doesn't like them? That's fantastic logic. How about I go and pick on Christians for liking God and Jesus. I don't agree with them. In fact, let's just all discriminate. I mean, there's no point in trying not to, right?
STUPID ENOUGH? youre stupid if you think you should hide your religion or choice of being Atheist from everyone nothing is stupid with being Atheist nothing AT ALL. and who cares about the 3/4 of the world aganist it, it is your choice and so the 3/4 shouldnt matter.
Yeah so we should all hide our beliefs just to fit in with the crowd?
If someone wants toe be an Athiest, I'm sure they can, and I'm sure they have their own reasons for their decision.
If they respect other's religions, others should respect their views too, instead of being so narrow minded that thinking only their religion is allowed or right.
It doesn't matter when they decided or what response they expected, but it's how they're being treated by other members at their school for no other reason at all.
Have you talked to anyone about this? I think it's a bit unfair that everyone's ganging up on you just for your beliefs.

No, people should keep their "traps shut" if they want to avoid "suffering the wrath of anyone who doesn't like them", and it is fantastic logic. Nobody's going to stop this kid from openly professing his Atheism, but he's acting like he was expecting people to respond well to it. And if that is the case, he is an idiot.
Don't get pissed at me, I'm not the one discriminating. I'm an Atheist myself, but I'm intelligent enough not to talk about it in a predominantly Christian world, because unlike you I'm not naive enough to believe in the general kindness and acceptance of people.
No, that's absolute bullshit. He wasn't expecting to be popular, he was expecting to be treated like a normal human being. Just because you're pessimistic doesn't mean the whole world should be. You should be proud of your religion, not hide it.
Uh huh. I'm naive huh. Listen, I'm a LaVeyan Satanist, and openly so. Most of my friends are either Christian or Catholic, and they think I'm pretty cool. I've had maybe 1 or 2 people ever even bring it up to me, ever, and other than that people don't treat me like an ass. And when I was an Agnostic, and before that an Atheist, I received no different treatment. My entire family is Christian, and they don't care. Being Christian has absolutely nothing to do with it. The behavior those people are displaying is not Christian at all, not even a little bit, and any true Christian can tell you that.
Minus SoS' angry comments, he's mostly right. Atheists are the most hated minority in America. You can preach it around if you like, but don't expect a warm response, you will get ostracized, and there's not much you can do about it. This is why the topic should never be brought up in a group.
