I remember being surrounded by a bunch of people who were quite angry that I said "I don't believe in God." That's all I said. I didn't say there wasn't one, I just said I didn't believe in it.

It was an elementary school ground and those simple words galvanized a motley uncohesive group into a small angry mob. I couldn't see the problem since I was only talking about me and not them.

I've cautioned my kids to be noncommital or just say "uh-huh" when in this situation. Very little can be gained by discussion of religion in 3D social settings with those that believe strongly.
