It’s interesting that atheism still has such a stigma. It’s still inconceivable that an atheist can become US president. It seems women may get there at some point but I don’t think an openly atheist candidate will make it anytime soon.
Even in personal conversations you get an awkward silence when you directly say you are an atheist. Better to waffle around and say you are “spiritual” or “agnostic”
- jeffreyrogers 5y agoEh, it depends on where you are. Plenty of communities in the US where strongly held religious views will be looked down on. At the national election level it has to do with who votes (skewed towards older people who tend to have different views on religion).
- thatguy0900 5y agoI think it's more interesting that people think the presidents are actually religious, to be honest.
- didntknowya 5y agoidk there seem to be more stigma to be religious nowadays
