I live in california, and california is one of those rare places in which religion and atheism live fairly harmoniously, sometimes even meshing together to create something totally different alltogether. where I live many atheists either attend or have attended some religious event, and many have had religious studies. On the other hand many of the religious tend to be a lot more accepting and willing to hear out what atheists believe.
There are still a lot of flaws and there are still small hints of intolerance but it’s nothing more than an awkward situation or an uncomfortable silence.
I have an equal amount of religious and atheist friends, and a lot of friends who are something in between. it’s actually pretty nice. Sometimes we all go out to drink and we have these really fun religious debates that really test us and it’s always a good time with them.
