I'm so confused right now on if I believe in god or not, but I haven't told anyone in my sorority.
I figure I didn't join for religion, and since we don't have weekly bible studies and junk, I just don't even mention it. I guess it is like how many of the gay people feel/say on the real world. Whenever the houseguests find out that a person is gay and ask why they didn't tell - the person will usually say because when I first meet a person I don't ask if they are gay or straight. That might be a bad comparrison - but I just feel like bringing my religion/confussion up isn't something I want to do. Either way, I am still the same person. I am not lying to anyone about my religion, I am just not talking about it. I can talk to my family and such about it when the time approaches.
I think a reason why a lot of people who you are close to might come to shun you if they find out about you not beliving in god or what not is because stereotypical atheist usually have an ego problem. They think everyone is stupid for believing in something (what they think) don't exsist. I think for the most part, though, many people who don't believe in god see the idea of god as something comforting to many people. I know how much it comforts my mom to pray and such, so I am not going to sit here and tell her he doesn't exsist. That isn't my place.
