If I said that I'm an atheist in your nation?

You would get a bigger food ration.

You would replies such as "Me too" or "Same here"..

People would think you were a foreigner, most likely. Atheism is not a Restricted Ideology in the eyes of the state, unlike some foreign religions.

Many Layvians would simply nod in agreement, as the Layvian government has not established an official religion, and the nation itself is founded more in scientific principles than religious or moral principles.

From the official Factbook of Layvia:

"Layvia does not have an official religion, and the country itself takes a rather secular approach to most matters. However, Layvia is quite diverse in religious beliefs. In the 2050 census, it was reported that 38% of citizens identify as atheist or agnostic, 16% identify as Christian, 14% identify as Jewish, 12% identify as Muslim, 7% identify as Buddhist, 7% identify as Hindu, and 6% identify as other.

In accordance to the Constitution of Layvia, any form of religious discrimination is banned."

Layvia seeks to promote diversity and intelligence, and thus it would be antithetical for anyone to mock anyone for their religion, and especially for the lack thereof.

No one would honestly care.

Strange looks and possibly weird mannerisms of those you meet afterwards. Nothing serious though unless it was said to a Government official

by **Horde of Nogai** » Mon Dec 12, 2016 4:41 am

Nobody would care.
Zealots would call you as infidel.
But you would have no problem. Except if you molest people by your viewpoint or leader is religious zealot. Then you might get in trouble.

It would run a gambit from
"hey man so am I!"
"Not another fucking asshole kid."
"Oh lord this country truely is being lost. I'll pray for you young man."

Cleric Pass' religious values are more seen as religious truths of human nature rather than literal takes on scripture, and act as a foundation for the legislative decisions that are made. With that in mind, people who call themselves atheist would likely be seen as extremely misguided and subversive by most.

Any movement that tries to influence change in this system is not considered progressive but rather revolutionist, therefore not tolerated by law. Misunderstandings of motive can happen - 15 year old contrarians on Facebook are often taken from their basements and waterboarded. They're fine afterwards usually.

You might get some chuckles from the more conservative populations in the centres of the two islands, but in the more liberal cities, you might even be patted on the back.

"Cool." says another atheist Jovian.
"Cool." says a Christian Jovian.
"Cool." says a Muslim Jovian.
"Cool." says a Jewish Jovian.
"Cool." says an agnostic Jovian.

The point is, we don't care what you believe.

Good story, have a free drink.

Buddhism is not a religion. It is a school of thought, or philosophy.

Nothing would happen to you, though people won't understand. Both the Christians and Muslims of the nation take their religion seriously, and don't come across atheists and agnostics a lot. Malizistanis would ask you questions like "Why don't you believe in God?", they will hear your explanation and leave it at that.

by **Pigeontree** » Mon Dec 12, 2016 2:06 pm

You would most likely get a look that suggested the person was waiting for the rest of the sentence.

In short, it would be no big deal.

by **Ysherael** » Mon Dec 12, 2016 2:18 pm

Would probably be lynched if the government didn't get to you first.

by **Valgora** » Fri Dec 23, 2016 12:23 am

People may try to convert you to Troklakhi. The people trying to convert you would do it politely and may only care about how you feel about nature since Troklakhi is a "nature religion."

by **Arystav** » Fri Dec 23, 2016 12:28 am

If you said that completely out of context with no one having asked you? You'd probably be looked at a bit strangely for the outburst, but otherwise nothing would happen.

The average person would likely hurl eggs at you. If you write atheism down for religion while registering for a government service, then you will be rejected that service, put on an ISB watchlist, and given a list of religions to practice (all the major ones would be on there.)

by **Ipland** » Fri Dec 23, 2016 12:32 am

People around you would be like:

"Gurl same"
or
"I'm like... also kinda that too"

by **New Scario** » Fri Dec 23, 2016 12:32 am

No one would care.
We have more thing to worry about.

by **Deutschen Demokratischen Republic** » Fri Dec 23, 2016 12:34 am

It's East Germany, we're communist so basically you'd just get a pat on the shoulder and told "Good for you. Not the only one."

"A person was laughed at rather loudly today for proclaiming there are no Gods to one of the Gods who was getting a right good kick out of it before snapping their fingers and literally removing that person from all creation via essentially uncreating them."

Alas ye, fantasy nations.
