View submission: My face of r/atheism

He has a point, I think many atheists just overreact about their accidents with christians. As an atheist living in the Bible Belt, I can say, that so far I've met only one person who was amazing before she found out that I am an atheist and only after went batshit insane. Other ones were either douchebags who hated for non-religious reasons or did not care at all. For example, one of my best friends, who found out about my atheism after we became friends, is a christian who goes to church every sunday. He is an example of a very good person: hard-working, smarter than your average Joe. Even though he doesn't play videogames, while I am a die hard player, and that he knows that I am an atheist, he is still my best friend. He thinks that Santorum is wrong, he openly discusses with me any topics including LGBT (he thinks this is wrong, but also that all people should have their own freedom of what to do, so gay marriage should be legalized) and others. This is just how you propose yourself. If you are a bum from the street who walks into a room full of christians and says that christianity is a bs, then no shit you are will be hated. If you are an intelligent person able to keep a good discussion, then you will be respected, even among christians. And btw, when I said previous sentence, I meant normal people, not rednecks
