That's easy. "Doesn't it take more faith to be an atheist than a believer?" is the weirdest and stupidest question that I have been asked. I get it a lot.
A close second is "Isn't atheism a religion?" or "isn't atheism just like a religion?"
Not to mention "Doesn't atheism mean you worship Satan", I get that at least weekly.
Then there's all the idiocy about homosexuality. "You're gay? Doesn't that mean you have AIDS?" and "You're gay? Doesn't that mean you sleep around with lots of men?" and "You're gay? So that means you're a rapist?" and so on.
Marko just asked (in jest) "Are you now, or have you ever been a raccoon?" but that was a joke and even then not as stupid as the anti-atheist and anti-gay stuff.
