You wanna talk about religion? Talk to the hand!

Definitely annoying. Especially when they ask me what religion I belong to and I say none. Their immediate assumption is that I'm atheistic which is false, and then on the agnostic which is closer but also false. The real truth is I REALLY DON'T CARE. The divine has never impacted my life at all so i see no reason to spend any of my time thinking about it. The usual response is, "Wait, then what is atheism?"

I lived in NC for about 3 years, and I loved it, with one major exception; whenever anyone introduced themselves to you at a social function, they would always ask you what church you belonged to. It was annoying. After a while, rather than say none, I'd make up really interesting or silly names of churches. I would say it so seriously that they didn't know if it was a real church or not. I stopped this when I told some guy (who was very prominent in the local Baptist church) that I was an active member in the Church of Free Will and Love, and he thought I meant I wanted to have a "date" with he and his wife. Ewwww, creepy!!!

Now, to answer the question - only if it is 'thrust' upon me with no indication that I give a shit.

People who talk about any topic constantly annoy me. Variety is the spice of life!

I look at it as an opportunity to convert them to the dark side. Jehovah witnesses are the easiest followed by the Mormons. Give me 3 days, a bag of skittles and finger nail file. I'll then create the legion of doom out of members of any religion.

People that talk about their religion only? Yes. It's quite annoying, just like if someone were to talk about their pet or their family all the time.

As for people who merely bring up religion a lot in everyday conversation, I don't mind at all. It can be quite enlightening.

I think they are just doing what they believe they are called to do. If they annoy me too much I just close the door in their face and tell them to go away.

They amuse me immensely. I don't hear people talk about their religion as much as I used to and I really miss the arguments.

Seeing as I am one of those people, those who like to talk religion don't annoy me at all. Intelligent people know how to hold a good conversation, and stupid people have plenty of buttons to push. It's always a learning experience and a great way to polish up an argument.

Not any more than atheists bashing religion, no ;)
