I don't really remember much about the Invention of Lying (not my favorite project of his, I considered the movie just okay) but I've always kind of appreciated that Gervais jokes about his atheism. I'm sorry "old man in the sky" bothered you, that sucks.

This is just coming from my atheist perspective though, I was treated pretty horribly for being an atheist my entire life and to this day still have to hide it from some people. I appreciate celebs who are open about it and talk about it, not that I want them to offend anyone but I think sometimes people don't realize how much shit someone can take for not being part of a faith.

I'm not even so much complaining here as wondering again "why the hell does this bother me when nothing else does???" I can sit through the most aggressively anti-theist or just anti-Christian diatribes and just find it interesting and honestly kind of refreshing because Christianity is so much the standard and the assumed default, but this one phrase irritates me and I don't get it.

And now I feel like I need to add a disclaimer that I don't think just talking about why they don't believe counts as an atheist disrespecting religion. There are some Christians who act like that and it makes me roll my eyes. I'm just saying that I'm not even bothered by most things that are legitimately insulting so this is confusing to me.

AYRT. Sometimes things can just hit you, it's understandable. I can take lots of offensive humor myself but every once in a while a random scene or line will get to me, I don't think these things are always logical responses but emotional ones.

And btw I appreciate your view and it's nice to come across Christians who are willing to hear an atheist viewpoint without their default being to take offense. There are definitely some atheists that are offensive and could be better at expressing their viewpoints, but sometimes people are legitimately just trying to open a discussion and get vitriol back. I wish it was easier to talk more openly about these things because I legitimately find religion interesting, I just don't have any faith myself.

About as much shit as someone who is, depending on the circs. The idea that secularism, which is very much the norm where I live, is uniquely disadvantaged, is pretty much an American POV.

[(Anonymous)]

No it really fucking isn't.

I'm from intensely religious part of Europe, ruled by homophobic, climate-change denying, corrupt politicians who invariably claim the bible as their justification for their prejudice and criminal misdeeds. Or laughably after they're found out claim god has forgiven them (so that's okay then).

So no. Not just an American problem or POV.

[diet_poison]

lol?

In addition to parts of Europe, as anon illustrated, what about Islamic countries?

There are also places that are so heavily religious that I could imagine being areligious would be pretty awkward (like much of Latin America).

Ironically, I actually don't really see it as being a huge disadvantage in the US, unless you come from a particularly conservative area. Of course my bias as a lifetime city-dweller might be showing...
