Your views are less than widely accepted. Someone who differs from the theistic views of the rest of society, you choose to scoff at the common gods and their works. You are someone who will make due on their own, someone who understands that prayer and services to the normal gods can only get you so far. They are unreliable. What is one prayer to them amongst thousands? No, you understand that you must focus inward and rely on yourself. You have taken to traveling the world to preach your doctrine, to free the people from their mental chains and understand that they are the masters of their own destiny, just as you are the master of yours.

Your method of advertising your views is as old as time. You know exactly what to say and where to stand to make sure that you get the most attention possible. Whenever you are in a settlement, you can always gather a relatively good-sized crowd to watch or listen to whatever it is you're doing or saying. The crowd's reception of your actions and/or words is entirely up to the DM's discretion.
