8. The Atheist Voice

Every voice is important. Hence, the atheist voice must be heard too. The Atheist Voice channel is preparing a documentary called “Coming Out Atheist” about difficulties young (and adult) atheists are facing when they admit to people they don’t believe in God. Yes, their problems are the same as the LGBT people have coming out. Don’t get me wrong, I acknowledge that there are parts of the world where admitting you don’t believe in God can even endanger your life, but those are extremes. So, by naming their video “coming out atheist”, the people behind this channel associate with “coming our from the closet” and create a comparison between the troubles of atheists and the LGBT, which, for that matter, is pointless, as everyone feels their problems are the worst.
Take a step back and think about how much insisting on something being a problem can sometimes make it more of a problem than actually helping. I am sure there are many people and families who won’t judge atheists at all and with the videos here, they could be afraid of coming out for no reason.
