Is it normal to hide your race, and beliefs for the sake of peace?

    Yes. I feel utter disgust by some people when I say I'm christian for instance. I haven't encountered too much racism anyways.

      Yea, the 8th grader atheists who think they're better than everyone else just cause they're atheists tend to dislike christians

        8th graders? I'm 21 I can't bring my faith up to ANYONE without getting weird looks or dismissal. I only have one friend I can share my faith with and perhaps that is enough but I don't feel like I can fully be myself around other people. I am not ashamed of my faith either I just hate the awkwardness so much not enough to stop me from when I feel the need to speak up, but enough to suppress a vital part of me.

          Try to say that you're a christian on the internet, people will automatically assume that you're an idiot and start making jokes about the "flying sphagetti monster"
          Look, there are a lot of untolertant christians, I agree
          but sometimes atheists are as just as untolerant as christians

            I agree. Everyone should just leave each other alone and stop being so prejudice about something as simple as what god you do or don't worship. Believing or not does not make you any cooler and I think when people attack like that they are acting like immature children.

            That's why I don't unless I feel it's entirely relevant. Anyways, I mistook your comment for insult, my mistake, have a nice day.

      I am sorry to hear that. That seems to be happening a lot in recent years.
