Due to constant misunderstanding with my name I feel the need to change my intro. I am hateful, hateful of religion. I hate what religion does to people and that people use it as an excuse to not think. I have spent many years of my life as an Atheist and have learned to handle my emotions, but no other word quite describes how I feel towards religion short of hate. I am outspoken, open minded, and will share my opinion. If you're looking for someone who will always agree with you, that won't be me.

Question with 14 notes

Anonymous asked: Are all Atheists Whites? I've never, ever met a Black Atheist, or for that matter a Black Agnostic. Come to think of it, I don't think Hispanics are anywhere near the genre.

Not all Atheists are white but unfortunately it does seem to be disproportionately white. There are a few Atheist/agnostic POC on tumblr. Doubting Marcus comes to mind as one of my favorites. Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a well known African American agnostic, he refuses to refer to himself as an Atheist. Ayaan Hirsi Ali is another well known non-white Atheists but sadly there really aren’t enough. There do seem to be few Hispanic Atheists (at least that I am currently aware of) and adding more diversity to the group would be a huge plus.

  2. ichangedmyurltothis said: yeah. i’m black and reluctantly identify as agnostic (leaning towards atheism). apparently black people are supposed to have soul and that’s kinda hard to have if you don’t really believe souls exist.
  3. kitudjamerre said: blacks and hispanics tend to have their communities centred around religious establishments. coming out as atheist could mean ostracism from the community they grew up in.
