How many leave your inner circle once they know about your atheism?
I have been "outed" to:
My two surviving brothers, one of whom doesn't care, and the other of whom, despite still being a fundamentalist, said "that's too bad" and never brought it up again (although I'm sure he privately judges me, he hasn't ill-treated me in any way).
A group of four other men I play cards with weekly. One of them is also an atheist, which is how the topic came up ("I'll bet you're an atheist like the professor here" ) but it has not been a problem at all. One of them made clear, just don't disrespect my wife's religion (note, he did not say MY religion) and I have no problem not saying insulting or condescending things about topics I have no interest in. So ... not a problem at all.
None..I'm the one who kicks them out; if I find out they're Trump supporters or see religious memes on my Facebook page, I defriend/block them.
None. I don’t socialize with Bible folk.
Me, neither. If they even mention Christianity, I'm taking three steps back and getting out of there, never to contact them again.
I don't really have an inner circle except for my dog and he's kind of stuck with me
