I just found out I was fired for being an atheist. You wouldn't think that would happen in this day and age.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Fired for atheism. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
