Why is it that atheism is still such a taboo subject in the modern world? I'm an atheist and have had to try and defend that right most of my adult life, yet I'm ridiculed for not holding of a belief in a deity. I know its a subject that can bring out the worst in people, but are there any other atheists here who come across the same issues?
Some interesting figures for people who class themselves as "convinced atheists":
UK = 13%
USA = 10%
China = 62%
Japan 32%
Afghanistan = 0.33%
Interesting that 76% of the worlds atheist population live in Asia.
