Sometimes I wear a cross necklace as an atheist, but it’s because it’s my dead grandmas and she wore it everyday. I also don’t like that it makes me look religious, I like looking like a safer space than that. But sometimes you gotta just exist as yourself ungoverned by how you’ll be perceived.

This is so real like I was raised catholic but not in like the homophobia racist way and lowkey this is the realest thing I’ve ever seen like I’m def an atheist now and like I just hate how like religion is so entangled in politics rn like god forbid a girl needs nostalgia

i only wear gothic crosses because those are more associated with alternative culture than actual religion atp, but it fits my style and ik it wouldn’t fit everyone

everytime i wanna wear a cross in a fashion sense i see my religious dad in my head looking even more disappointed at me being an atheist than he already is so i can't

Christian here! not to condemn you or anything but if you’re wearing a cross for fashion why don’t people wear a david’s star necklace as fashion too even if they’re not Jewish? if you don’t believe in what the message behind the cross is you shouldn’t wear it. if it’s a gothic cross though that’s fine in my opinion but obviously do what you want just putting my 2¢

but it’s what it represents. a cross literally represents Christianity whether you want to believe it or not. i mean obvi do what you want, but you said yourself you don’t like how a cross has you associated with us Christians yet you’re still choosing to wear it. it’s easy to just not wear one or at least wear a gothic one but it’s your life

no fr and the cross shape doesn’t ONLY represent christianity either. also christians don’t respect atheists and a portion of them tell us we’ll go to hell for not believing so i don’t feel a huge obligation to respect them in return lmao

see i agree the christians get REAL mad from what ive seen on social media but tbh i think its crazier to be a christian in this day and age especially as a woman. literally saw a post that a planned parenthood was shutting down and a literal church commented “come to our service this sunday if you want to celebrate” like what the FUCK

Literally that’s the problem with like the told rn politics and religion are becoming too intertwined when there was supposed to be a separation bw church and state in the first place- it just adds to the mass polarization that our nation is now struggling with which doesn’t help anyone solve like real issues bc we’re too busy fighting eachother
