I am an atheist and I am scared to tell anyone because my religious friends will try to convert me and I find it incredibly insulting. I know they just want me to have the thing that gives them joy in their lives, but I want them to know that their source of joy is not the same as mine. I want them to be okay with the fact that our beliefs are not the same. I am not a lesser person just because I don’t believe in an all-knowing entity.
