I Am An Atheist
Are there any other atheists here I can talk to? I feel like I can only trust other atheists with all of the issues I'm currently facing.

I've been facing discrimination lately for being an atheist and I lost my job because of it. Barely anyone believes me when I try to explain the story to them.

From what I can tell, you being fired was completely wrong. And a show of huge intolerance and ignorance. A lot of people wrongly assume so much about atheism, or they just refuse to see what they don't want to see. That is such an injustice to you and your rights!

Well, the ACLU still hasn't contacted me, so I guess I can try the EEOC then.

It doesn't matter what your religious/non-religious proclivities are, being fired for religious reasons is illegal in most cases. It may not be to your advantage, but you could bring this matter to court most likely. The situation as you described it smacks of blatant discrimination.

Umm you can chat with me. Is it religious parents we're working with here? Because there's not much you can do about that.

Ah, well there are support groups for atheists along with other resources. I hope you can feel better by going there or finding a community like this one. Honestly, in some areas, atheists have to struggle constantly.
I for one would simply move somewhere else. Most of the northern states aren't that bad. Gotta watch out for Pennsylvania though.

I plan on going to either Indiana, Vermont, or Maine.

Good.

Dude, I'm with you. People of faith (I'm not just saying Christians) give solid advice for the most part, but sometimes you just have to talk to someone who won't tell you God blah blah this, Christ blah blah that.

Whatever you're going through, I am so sorry. You will make it through.
You can do it and overcome.
You're an overcomer.

Heard you got fired. That's discrimination. Take it to court, you won't be sorry, even with a shitty lawyer.
