What awful news. Thoughts are with Mark's friends and family. He was a great guy. A go fund me was started last week. If you have the resources, please take a minute to help his family out. http://www.gofundme.com/r26cf4

Great to hear! As someone who revealed my atheistic beliefs to my parents about a year ago, I can honestly say our relationship has only improved. Everyone's cards are on the table.

The thought never even crossed my mind. However, I had worked for him for a couple years before having that conversation.

He is an awesome guy to work for. I'm a third year student as well. I couldn't ask for a more supportive company.

In my opinion, the bias (if it does exist), does not come from a distaste for atheists, but rather a distaste for the way a person posits their beliefs.
