    Dude, I get it, but as an atheist, it sucks to be lumped in like this. Most atheists don’t care that you practice your religion, and they are very respectful of it. Just because it’s not something I believe doesn’t mean I get to shit on other’s beliefs.

    The atheists who act/think like this tend to be very new to it and are excited to show they are different or that they are actively rejecting the religion that they came from. Or, they are just a closed-minded person.

    Most of us understand that it’s not a break; it’s a requirement of their religion. These people aren’t doing it to get out of work or to go have fun for a bit, and equality is not the same as equity. Some people need different things in the workplace and that’s fine. But, I know that there are a lot of atheists that are far too aggressive with their lack of belief.

    I know you are already aware of most of this, but my overall point is that there are a lot of us atheists fighting for people to be able to practice their religions in and out of the workplace, and I’m sorry that you’ve only seen the shitty part of us.

    Every person with a religious belief knows this feeling.

        The humor comes from absurdity. Knowing that it's made up greatly decreases the absurdity.

          So do you skip movies unless they're documentaries? It's OK for people to like fiction even if you don't.

            Might be true. Might be fake. Don't care. Lesson is basic. Don't be a dick and just have a lil respect.

              Yeah it is, and it's also like everyone's opinion. People might be more interested in giving atheists a fair shake if it weren't for people like you, only interested in letting everyone know how smart and rational you are. Sure, it keeps people from questioning their beliefs when every atheist they see is a condescending douchebag, but at least everyone knows you're a special star-spangled skeptic.

                In spite of uncertainty about how the universe started, everything we know about its mechanics says it works without any need to believe in any of the mythology people have invented to explain it in a state of ignorance. Sometimes I'm tactful about that, sometimes I'm just honest, but there it is. Nobody's obligated to respect delusions, and in fact the pain and damage they've led to through many centuries suggests that those delusions more properly should be actively discouraged.

                  I skip shitty, low quality fiction, yeah.

                  I never said it wasn't ok for you to like it. I don't judge people. I just judge jokes, and this is a sucky joke.

                      Businesses should be able to have more than one staff to cover breaks. If there was only one employee who disappeared for fifteen minutes to take a shit, I'd still not go back or support their business. I used to run a restaurant that sometimes ran as few as two people, but one is unacceptable.

                        I'm an absurdist first when it comes to comedy. I still thought this was funny. I can get to the end and understand that it probably wasn't real while still enjoying the story. Source: will joke about punching a baby for the hell of it. Or a nun punching a baby.

                          All of the "nothing ever happens" people need to literally touch grass. Shit like this happens all of the time in major cities.

                            I thought it was pretty believable up until the fist bump. That part has "and then everyone clapped" energy. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the story is true.

                                    And atheists tend to be more religious than most theists. Some are chill, but you'll probably never know they're atheists.
