    You joking, right? Not sure if religious people don't notice, but EVERYWHERE you go now days somebodies religion affects you. School, retail stores, gas stations, work, and at your own home. When I was unemployed, the "witnesses" came to my house 3 times a week on average. Face facts man, religious people don't like you not to believe what they believe. And once they find out you don't have a religion, they will do anything in their power to try to get you in "their" church. As if one church will make the difference that the other churches didnt.

    Me personally, I am not a religion "basher". I just do not like to be bothered and lectured by people who believe their religion is what "I" need in my life. You have your religion, believe in it and quit trying to make me believe something that is not believable in my eyes. I don't walk around wal-mart handing out flyers to people trying to get them not to believe in god...... so why do religious people? Crazy world we live in. But I deal with it now, when people ask me about religion or wanna talk about it.... i simply say "I have my own relationship with god".... then they'll drop it, lol.

    Once again, some, not all, just as some people that don't like religion want to be completely sure you KNOW they don't like religion. If all religious people felt this way you wouldn't even be able to walk without having to stop because someone is trying to feed you something.

    I'd love to hear how retail stores, schools, etc all have anything to do with religion.

    You live in a Christian dominated country, of course there will be religious holiday type things everywhere in season, but I'm pretty sure last time I walked into Publix the cashier didn't say "are you currently a member of a church?"

    People who aren't religious don't walk around telling people that what they believe is not right. Not sure what publix you go to, but I've had multiple people come up to me with flyers and papers speaking about their church or their beliefs. And I'm not talking about any holidays, strictly about the people who make it a point to make sure you believe what they do.

    Are you kidding me? American Atheists (http://www.atheists.org/) specifically targets religious communities:
