Hell, why not, this forum seems like the place to post this..
I've been an Atheist for around 2 years now, and I've got me a little problem. I live in a town where if you're not Christian, you're an outcast. I've never been asked what my religon is until around a week ago, and I told them plain out I'm atheist. Some of the people I was in the group with asked if my family was atheist, why I turned atheist, stuff like that. The others either stared at me in disgust or started focusing on the school work we were given. All of the people were good friends, we all hung out at least weekly together, and a majority of them I sat next to at lunch, during periods, etc. Now they hardly talk to me, and how we used to fudge around during classes no longer happens(We use to pull pranks on other kids and the teachers).School's been out for a week and only one of them has made any communication with me, and that was asking for a number of an ex girlfriend of mine. Basically, do you think they're avoiding me because of my religon or am I just being overly paranoid?
