I appreciate the Fellowship here.
On Facebook, I only indirectly hinted that I didn't believe in mumbo-jumbo -- I didn't want all of my Friends to unFriend me because I posted some of the things there that I've posted here. In other words, I haven't come out of the closet. Have you?
Not overtly on FB, I haven't; basically because I almost never post anything there except Trump smut (anti-Trump shit), and usually that's re-posting. I used to go on and participate in the commentaries, but we all know what that has turned into. So, now I may go there once or twice/week just to see if any of my favorite people have posted something I ought to be aware of.
If you aren't pushing a business or something it might not be a big deal. It likely will lose you at least some followers and make it harder for your posts to be noticed due to the algorithms...
Yes but not in your face about it. Other non believers will recognize a couple of memes in my photo section. I haven't declared my non belief at work but a close look at my truck reveals it. A few people at work know but they aren't the gossiping type.
why do you have a godless truck ? !

Anyone who actually reads my posts, and has half a brain knows I am an atheist, and I abhor religion.
Most people don't grasp that because they can't conceive of the notion that not believing is even possible.
I had a sticker that said "in the beginning man created god" Only my grandchildren who very young caught it.
I have a page that's all about agnostic and atheist memes. My personal page doesn't really show one way or another. Though when asked I do respond truthfully.
I've gained and lost so many friends over the years purely because they found out I didn't believe the same crap they do. I actually quit Facebook at the beginning of this year. It was becoming too toxic and the opinions I was expressing was starting to get me bans. So I decided that if I couldn't express myself unabridged and uncensored, then there was no need to stay. But I've never his the fact I don't believe. I don't necessarily broadcast it either, but if the subject comes up and I'm asked, I don't hesitate to let them know I don't buy a word.
woh ! what were you expressing? sounds dire
I say what I feel on my facebook page and always share this site on it and from it.
I'm a member of the Facebook group Atheist Against Pseudoscientific Nonsense, and I will occasionally share something from the group to my timeline. I've never explicitly stated my beliefs, and so far nobody I'm aware of has unfriended me. It someone does, good.
I don't hide it but I don't advertise it, either. It is just who I am, and some people see it and some don't. I simply live a good life, post only positive things, and set a good example.
I have very devout Christian friends who, "bless their hearts", accuse me of being "one of the most Christian acting" people they know, and they know that I am definitely not a Christian. It is a frame of reference for them. Positive, kind living with integrity is seen as "Christ-like". I just roll with it. Maybe my example will encourage some inellectualism.
Yup. Loudly, and often.
I doubt my family reads my posts, or would care if they did. I already defriended most of my childhood Christian friends, and the one's left never post anything so I assume they have "unfollowed" me to avoid my snarky political comments, and links to negative Trump coverage..
I never was in the closet about being an atheist so I don't sugar coat anything on my Facebook in doing so I lost alot of people who would be friends but weren't aware I wasn't a theist. At the same time oh well it shows who your true friends are. Oddly enough my best friend is a die hard Evangelical and one of the leaders of his church. Luckily he gave up years ago trying to convert me!
I have two accounts, one for business and a personal one. I'm completely out on my personal one, but won't come out on my business one.
I did cuz I had to put up with their religious b.s. I am off fb now, caused a argument between my brother and a friend. I just can't take all the b.s. on it anymore.
