Let's be honest: Going "(Your) God isn't real" when someone tells you a "God bless you" is straight disrespectful. It's their way of wishing you good things.

I have an helenist friend whom I'd reply "Let's hope for it" if they said "hope the Gods are with us on this". Am I a Helenist? No.

I tell my dad a "You too!" when he says "may God protect you on your way!". Am I a Christian? Nope!

But is this their way of wishing someone a good day/good luck? Yes. The intention is what counts, after all.

    Ah fuck that.

    I don't think that many atheist would display this religious behavior, because this is the shit that religious types do all the fucking time

    This meme is basically "every accusation is a confession"

    Well, I do see tons of atheists do it. If your reality is different than mine, this is not my problem. I talked about mine, you stay on yours.

    Yeah, speaking as a pagan, literally every stripe of religious people has annoying as shit people. Often they're people who feel insecure in their beliefs whether because they're new to them or because they feel those beliefs are under attack.

    Like yeah, I've met those annoying atheists as well as atheists who I only knew were such because it came up. Several of my childhood friends went from the former to the latter.

    I will say though, atheists don't try to make their religious beliefs legally mandatory, so I'll take some annoyance over that.

    You've seen tons of atheists be douche canoes to their dying grandmothers? You have an impressively large but close knit circle of inconsiderate people.
