How Do Atheists Handle Religion In The Workplace? by Nobody: 7:42pm On Jul 24, 2017
Every Monday morning, the company I work with holds a meeting. Before the meeting starts, the Manager appoints someone to pray.
As an atheist, if you're called upon to pray, what would be your response? Considering how sensitive the topic of Religion is, especially in Nigeria. And also considering the fact that not everyone is open minded.

What would be your response?

I call atheists fools because the Bible says
"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God..."
Psalms 14:1


Atheists are mistakes of environmental and cultural probabilism.
They are confused folks who think rejecting the rationality of a superior being would make them be considered as superior thinkers.

In a workplace, they should not be let to participate in any Spiritual deliberation before their godlessness brings the organization down.

Deep down even the atheist believe in something. They know there's a God but the arrogance of their human intelligence is their curse.

Lol... Inform your manager

If he's religiously biased he may have to drop you later.


But if you're a highly resourceful staff, and he's not in anyway sentimental. He'd understand and adjust in your case.

if your boss is not liberal or does not show liberal tendencies in matters of religion,
or your workplace does not have both Christians and Muslim's,
please atheists /irreligious humans like myself, pretend to be a Christian or whichever religion your boss is, till you become your own boss like oga seun.

All my colleagues at work know I'm an atheist. Even my immediate boss knows. Sometimes, I try to prove the implausibility of a "God" to them but their minds seem made up. Gullible primates!

OP, anytime you are called upon to lead them in that fuckin' charade called prayer, simply shake your head in discordance. And if they insist, tell them point blank that you are an atheist.

I once lost a job opportunity 'cos I told the MD I was an atheist when asked of my religion.

Stand by your convictions and beliefs. Never be cowed down by no one.

Life's too short to care about what others think about you.

As a matter of fact, I stopped giving a Fucck a long time ago ...

I'd rather die like a man than live like a coward!

Lol... this is the problem with you guys. You're always quick to anger. You don't shout to win arguments, you use facts/points that's why atheists always win you.

Atheists own companies and employ people too. They don't force their staff not to pray so i don't see why an atheist will be forced to pray if the boss is a theist. Live and let live, no need judging atheists, allow your god to do his job.

You call him atheist wannabe, are you sure you're not a theist wannabe? can you beat your chest and say you're 100% faithful to your god

It's nothing. I will just recite what others are saying before. Some people ask me how I sing Christian songs when I say there's no God and I tell them, singing it doesn't make God to exist moreover music is the food of the soul.




People come to preach to me about their God, I go just dey look them make dem finish before we start arguing about their sky daddy

I am religious, but I would firmly refuse if called upon to pray in that way. I simply would tell them to pick someone else. I never even joined the prayer group. If they know your worth, they will overlook it. If they do not appreciate your worth, then you should not be working there in the first place. Tell them that you do not want to pray, simple.

bro. they impose everything in Nigeria as long as they are the boss and you're not. People should learn to keep their religion to themselves or their own circle of religious people.
I am a Christian but I am not the type to impose my own beliefs on people. # respect
