Atheist, does public prayer bother you or make you uncomfortable?

Answer 1

Only if it inconveniences me.

The last time I was bothered in that way was at the start of the Iraq War when some peace activists blocked traffic for a prayer against the war. I was stuck in the minor traffic jam that resulted for about 20 minutes.

Answer 2

Nope. As long as I'm not forced to participate, it's all good.

And don't be stealing my hummus out of the lunch room.

Answer 3

I bet they shake their fist in fury and stomp their feet lmao

Answer 4

No, I was raised in a heavily Christian family, it's pretty run of the mill for me.

Answer 5

No, if they don't use sound amplifier and stuff like that

Answer 6

No. I think it's silly, but I sit politely to be respectful.

Answer 7

None of the atheists I know are bothered by public prayer.

Answer 8

No.

I could care less.

I can even go to church and watch my nephew's xmas performance and nothing happens.

Answer 9

Which atheist are you addressing? There is more than one on Yahoo.

Answer 10

No. I don't really recall the last time I saw an example, though.

Answer 11

No, I just think about something else. At a dinner table I do what everybody else does.
