In England, you are much more likely to receive a negative response for coming out as actively religious than you are for either being apathetic about religion or actively religious.
​
Interesting.
​
I would never talk about my private beliefs in public.

Re: Atheism and freedom of speech
As has been discussed earlier in this thread, by and large religion is regarded as a private matter in England (it can be different elsewhere in the UK but England makes up the vast majority of the population).
​
Maybe the crowd I've run with in my life is not typical, but the experiences I've had in the states do not involve talking about religious beliefs at your basic cocktail party.

Re: Atheism and freedom of speech
now, walk into a debate, or a bar, and it'll be different.
​
They don't talk about religion in any bar I've been in.
​
And I've been in a lot of them.

Re: Atheism and freedom of speech
get someone drunk enough--one of those who blabber when drunk.
​
Surely that would be true anywhere, not just in the states.
