Don't worry my sistah from a black motha'... Obama is with you on that. Congrats, he's the most famous African-American around.

I think African American Atheists are uncommon because they are already afraid of prejudice, and stating that they do not believe in a mainstream Idea would make even more susceptible to prejudice.

You are not alone. In fact, they are all around you. I wrote a book "Black and Not Baptist: Nonbelief in the Black Community," available at Amazon.com. Now, here a few spots you can checkout and nt feel so alone.

Hey Michelle, i think there are more black atheists than you think, think about how long you secretly questioned(if you did in secret) what you had been taught. I think there are more blacks who know that religion is bs but just dont want to make waves in their community. Sad really because its just another example of how much we care about what others think.

<----- Michelle, you are not alone ;-)

And I'm a PK! Grew up literally in a church! Oh the stories I could tell!

But seriously, I understand what you're saying.
