Attitude to Atheists

9 years ago

Please don't turn this into an argument about whether there's a god or not but what is the average Filipino attitude towards Atheists?

I'm asking as a few times I've felt awkward when eating with families and they say grace before eating and looked at me to join in. I've also been invited to visit Churches and again had to refuse.

I've a very comfortable relationship with my lack of belief but I'm aware some cultures pretty much force people into religion with the fear of being punished or ostracised.

I come from a culture where you can believe or disbelieve and the majority don't care. Even to the extent of joking about each others beliefs or disbeliefs.

As I said at the start please don't turn this into a religous argument.
