Atheists, How Do You Deal With Nosy Neighbors Who Wonder About Your Religion? by Biodun1929(m): 11:03am On Jul 05, 2020 |
I'm an atheist, and I know most of my neighbors always wonder why I don't attend church on Sundays, but they don't ask, cos I always keep to myself. I don't relate with people in my area, apart from normal greetings. But, the new area I moved to, there is this woman (old enough to be my mom) who I buy stuff from. She is very religeous, and I had been anticipating her asking me why I don't attend church for a while, so when I went to buy something from her this morning and she called me back when leaving, I already knew what she wanted to say. Normally, I would ignore such questions, cos I feel it is none of anybody's business, but because of her age, I just lied that I attend Winners but haven't been going because of Corona ![]() Atheists in the house, how do you handle nosy neighbors that wonder about your religion? 1 Like 1 Share |

Why would anyone become an atheist?? Sha, me I believe in God and it's been ages I went to church tho..... I don't give attention to people who wants to ask me questions about my religion..... if they intrude way too much, I will just lie and tell them I do go to church and have them leave me alone.... One pastor did that, said he hasn't been seeing me go to church, told him I was just returning from church even, and I was on a very casual outfit where I went to get me some next cash and carry family loaf bread and juice.... He knew I was lying and since then, he stopped disturbing me.... 1 Like |

DMPaulSr: Yeah, it is not easy. When I first got enlightened, I use to argue with friends about religion, and even argue with strangers online. But as the years pass, I just keep my thoughts on life to myself. I don't tell anyone about being atheist to avoid unnecessary arguments/long discussions. I remember in the beginning, one of my friends mother found out and this woman took it as a mission to turn me back to a Christian. Men! She tried....endless calls, messages and all. But she had to give up after like 6 months. 7 Likes 1 Share |

DMPaulSr: Yep! People don't care if you do crazy things, as long as you go to church, you are covered. Lol. I remember one of my friends who I know has stabbed and maimed people before...he is one of the most gangster people I know. When he found out I was an atheist, this guy started fearing me. Lol! It was just funny. People just have that believe that if you are not religious, then you must be a devil worshiper. But they don't understand that I don't believe in the devil either. 4 Likes |

MJBOLT: Yes, I do that too. But not to old school/elderly people. I guess it is just out of respect, because of can get very rude when people ask me questions like that...but not with an elderly woman. |

yanabasee1 post=91398100:@Embolded you are also one if you have disbelief in other gods. For example, most Churches shade other traditional worshipers and their idols/gods because they don't share their beliefs. Same goes to you... Let's turn the table around. Let assume you found yourself in a community where they worship the stars ( sun) but you felt secluded from their activities because you have unbelief in their sun God. You become an atheist in that community... Simple and short 1 Like |

Professorcplus: You are wrong.... Atheist do not believe in the existence of God or gods or supernatural beings..... From your analysis, you mean to say that Christians are atheist to Islam and likewise Islam are also atheist to Christianity? If I find myself where people worship other gods, I could tell them that I have my own God that I worship, because I can't worship two gods..... |

Let's look at it critically, there is no reward for been truthful in telling people you are an atheist, rather we get chastised, castigated, hated, unfriend, infact u loose big time. So what's basically the point of admitting to being an agnostic when I know it makes me at disadvantage. I discovered people are uncomftanbke find u dangerous when u don't answer to any being, u have to believe something, anything. So i say am a Christian and I attend winners. Everybody is happy. 2 Likes |

yanabasee1:I did not come to prove who's wrong or right. Point of correction @embolded, this is the definition of atheist from google a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods.So far as you disbelieve in other gods then you are atheist in that aspect. So I also have my own God I worship but the idea you gave your God is subjective and personal conviction nothing more. I hope you are enlighten a bit. What do you think? 1 Like |
