		<description>I tend to agree with Patrick on this one. Learning and understanding other people&#039;s faiths is great, but unless you work in an explicitly religious workplace, keep it out! Get coffee after work or something. One thing that I think religious people sometimes find difficult to understand is how marginalized Atheists feel in any religious discussion. Even if I&#039;m not involved, if I&#039;m at work and people around me start talking about religion, it becomes clear in almost every case that I am the only one who doesn&#039;t think there&#039;s a God... even if I never have to mention it, if I&#039;m never asked, the marginalization still occurs. 

Its the same concept as telling racist jokes at work or something like that: it&#039;s not allowed at all because even if the person telling and the person listening are both OK with it, in the workplace, there&#039;s always someone else who hears. And that puts that person in a difficult position they never should be put in... ignore it to maintain good relations with co-workers? Or report it, and be a &quot;snitch?&quot; Even when people object to what&#039;s going on, in a workplace, particularly a friendly one where people get along well, the pressure to conform is going to make someone feel marginalized, and that&#039;s not something that should ever occur at a secular workplace.</description>
