Has Anyone attended an Atheist Meetup group

I was browsing Meetup.com and I noticed there is an atheist/secular meet up group at a bar in my town. Are these worth going to?

I'm thinking about attending one to chill and maybe meet cool people. I've never tried any of these meetups before. I've been always scared of meeting new people, but I want to change.

Fuck you to all spammers

Sorry guys, I have been pre-occupied with school and work. Fuck spammers. I am cleaning up this subreddit and banning them.

Any thoughts on Trump's immigration policy?

It appears that the ban is not a "Muslim ban" as trump advertised a few months earlier during his campaign, but a blanket ban on all Iranians and those from other six countries. That means that Muslims, Non-Muslims, Atheists, Buddhists, Baha'i's, Gays, Lesbians, and pretty much everyone from Iran is included in the ban.

Trump himself said he will prioritize the immigration of Christians.

  • Why should Christianity be prioritized, and not other minority religions?
  • How is prioritization even possible? It's not like Christianity is an ethnicity. Anyone can claim they are Christian.

What are your thoughts on this issue as Atheists from Iran?

How do you deal with everyone automatically assuming you are a Muslim?

It seems like almost everyone automatically assumes I'm a Muslim as soon as they learn where I'm from. This angers me sometimes, even though I try to not give a fuck about what others think of me.

The other day I was eating dinner at a restaurant at the holiday party at my company, and I order pork chops (said it loud on purpose). I noticed my co-workers looked surprised.

I also remember my first dinner with my ex's Jewish parents, I ordered pork on purpose, and they were like "WTF, aren't you a Muslim?".

When I was a teenager, I always had this dumb idea of getting sleeve tattoos, piercings, and maybe a Mohawk. "Muslims don't look like that", I thought. Nowadays, I think the bullshit religious talk is the inevitable part of meeting a new person.

Does anybody else feel this way? Do you have any techniques to bypass/change these assumptions? Or you just don't give a shit?

From someone outside Iran, what would be a great way to help to Iranian atheists?

Such as getting our governments to acknowledge your existence. Or protesting Facebook shutting down Iran's atheist pages. What is something you wish people outside Iran would do to help make your lives better?

First Post

Hello Everyone! I noticed there is no Subreddit for Iranian Atheists, so I created one. Feel free to discuss Atheism, Philosophy, and Science.

From my personal point of view, I'm really annoyed by the fact that everyone automatically assumes that I'm a Muslim just because I'm from Iran. Recently. a coworker of mine asked me if I celebrate Ramadan, and I was really annoyed by that question. I always try to explain to people that not everyone from Iran is a Muslim.

Feel free to share your experiences, your opinions, and anything else, as an Iranian Atheist.

Cheers.

Edit: Spelling.
