Either.. I think both get judged wrongly as a whole based on the opinions of few.

It is tough being anything besides Christian. People assume that I celebrate Christmas. People assume that I believe in a single god. I should go around assuming that EVERYONE is Hindu or Wiccan and see how they feel.

It is harder to be an Atheist where I'm from, in Western Kentucky Christian Capital of the world. Most everyone seems set in their ideas and thinks Atheism = Antichrist.

ATHEIST. By proclaiming "no God", everyone wants a piece of you. BTW- Try running for President as an atheist. Good luck with that. Got to agree with DP, anytime you state a preference, there will be someone there to "convert or condemn" you.

I think it's more difficult to be atheist. If you're Christian, people don't question your beliefs. They accept your faith. If you even hint at being athiest, they think there's something wrong with you. They think that its because nobody showed you the "right" way to think. More people understand and accept Christianity. Many people don't understand, or even *respect* people who are Athiests.
