I happened to read an article in the Indian Express in which the author says that he is being ignored by the people as a childish non-entity because he is an atheist. It sounded like a complaint that nobody takes atheism seriously.
Atheists are worthy to be ignored as ignorant. They are as ignorant as most of the believers as to whether there is actually a God or not. Without making any attempt to find out, they firmly believe that there is no God (or even a universal energy equivalent). They are not non-believers but blind believers.
Is not agnosticism with a skeptic mind more preferable? Then one can freely and sincerely find out the Truth, I feel. Then like Buddha nobody can ignore you even you find out that there is no God. And do you think that the ‘believers’ believe because they know? No chance. They go through or do the rituals because they get some mental relief. They want something to rely on. If it is a saving lie, let it remain!
A non-believer is a non-entity because he is a blind believer of the negative.
