What do you say when someone assumes you believe in God?
Do you clarify? Let it slide? Or just smile and change the subject?
We’ve all been there — especially in Michigan. Curious how others handle it.
(And yeah, you're not alone if you've just nodded along to avoid a whole thing.)

📦 We’re collecting donations.
🧤 Bring them to:
🗓️ May 31 – Michigan Atheists mtg
🗓️ June 1 – Skeptics on the Move, Rochester Hills
Everything we collect will go toward making someone’s day a little easier. Let’s show up.
