Many Atheists come from a religious background, and have to contend with a religious family. Even if we have given up beliefs, they still affect our every day lives. Even money says god on it.

Likewise lent is some big show that is put on every year and all the christians make a show of how pius they are even if they give up some petty thing. And then comes the inevitable"what did you give up for lent?" Where everyone is offended by the response of "nothing, I'm an atheist"

The fact that meat is readily available on Fridays is testament to how much influence we have
