She's also a female. I feel like I saw a unicorn.

Are you an atheist, kook?

Why yes, Yes I am.

Maybe she was just a unicorn who didn't read up on the demographics of race and religion before choosing her magical disguise and cover story. Ask her if she owns a yacht or runs a Fortune 500 company. If she says yes, then proceed to collect any dust she leaves behind.

Black people are rarely atheists here.

You meet a lot of black atheists? You meet a lot of female atheists?

I've worked with a BAAB FAAB agnostic, for what that's worth.

Did you talk to her about it?

@previous (kook !!32zdfdzi+)
No, there wasn't much to talk about really since I don't believe myself, and she wasn't religious either. I try to minimize religious discussion at work, at any rate, because in the past I've upset a few religious people including my boss once, which makes work a lot of fun for the remainder of your time there. But that's just the cost of living in Jeebusland.

Although I can say she wasn't a AAAB, as birth certificates don't have a space for religion.

it's not rare you probably just don't usually go around asking black women if they are atheists

also i feel like this is mildly racist

i had a boss i mistakenly told i was an atheist. he tried to make me work thanksgiving when i asked off before anyone else so i could drive to dallas.
he said people with religious obligations got off on religious holidays...
i had to explain to him thanksgiving wasn't a religious holiday...
then on christmas he did it again and i contacted my GM and faxed her a copy of my dated and signed request form. i did get off ultimately, and he got a stern talking to about prioritizing people's time off based on religious affiliation, lol.

never made that mistake again. never discuss religion at work.

He is right, if you are atheist you have no business celebrating religious holydays.

I upset a woman when I laughed because she said that dinosaur fossils were created by satan as a trick.

it's worse than asking white people if they're Jewish!

@previous (swamplights !!0lQNsDoq/)
I'm sure you do offend and upset people.
