lukeyeats,
Fight back bud, arm yourself with the facts, and use them. I wish I could say just how but know you have nothing to feel ashamed of unlike your advisaries.
Many groups of people have been discrimiated against few as universally as atheists. Don't let mindless, arrogance, ingonrance, parrot propaganda, official prejudice, and violence, get to yah. Now and historically, you're in good company.
