Good point...but lets not forget one thing...when people first meet you they dont know your atheists. You dont say hey look im nick the atheist do you? On any job interview, or any first impression. They know im big and all ready have preconceived stereotypes before i open my mouth. IOh yea...you dont hear whispers on a airplane saying look at that guy..hes a atheist they should charge him for 2 seats.
