According to a University of Minnesota study no other race, religion, ethnic group or affiliation is more hated by the American people than atheists. Their findings confirmed what many American atheists already suspected, that atheists are the most hated, despised, and distrusted minority in America.

In American politics, calling someone an atheist, or even calling someone a person who associates with atheists is such a slur that it is considered slander. Bigotry against atheists is one of the last generally accepted forms of discrimination in America.

In this day and age people in America are still afraid to be identified as atheists. They have good reasons to be afraid. In some areas atheists and their families will suffer job discrimination, harassment, and other social difficulties. Additionally, seven state’s constitutions still forbid an atheist to hold public office or testify in court.

Some people have a puzzling hatred of those who don’t share their belief in God and they feel it is fine to express that hatred, no matter who is hurt. I believe their hatred comes from a misunderstanding of who and what atheists actually are.

I think if people came to see that atheists are thinking, feeling human beings, they wouldn’t feel so free to make bigoted remarks about them or act in ways harmful to them without regard to their rights.

This page is meant to bring understanding about atheists and perhaps, through understanding, acceptance of atheists by those of faith. Please join me in exploring my atheist views.
