I am much more out with my friends, I come from a very long line of catholics, since I was raised Methodist, we already don't talk religion.

The shit that comes out of my mouth leaves little doubt I suspect....

My immediate family knows I’m atheist but I never discuss my lack of beliefs with my Christain friends.

I'm not gay and not black but the only ones left in my family that would give a damn are my 2 daughters. Unfortunately the pandemic, a murdered grandson, and wishful thinking has made my kids turn more towards a god belief. I get told often that "I believe in my own way." That's when I tell my kids everyone else feels that way too. This is why there are so many damned religions.

When I came out atheist my mother and sister were already dead. Sometimes my stepdad told me "you are going to split hell wide open." Now he is dead too. BTW, the biblical hell started in the grave and now its location has changed and moved over time. Myth does that sort of thing.

The only person I ever hid my atheism from was my grandmother, and there were two reasons:

1. Because she felt that my parents had handed over guardianship of my "soul" to her and my grandfather, (what actually happened was that my folks didn't say no when she and Grandad would drag me, kicking and screaming, to church with them) and the truth would have devastated her.
   and 2. Because she would have never ever let it go and would have badgered me about it any time I was in her presence, which was often, since I was her favorite grandchild.

My parents died a long time ago and now, the 7 of us raised Catholic are all but one atheist. One sister is a JW.

I was never quiet about it, anywhere.

The whole world knows I'm agnostic. When members of my Secular Humanist group ask for private groups on our facebook page, I wonder what is the point?

Can't really answer, since I don't have an immediate family.

Everyone who knows me knows I'm an atheist.
I've never kept it quiet.

Those where it matters, or I am in frequent contact with, yes. Those who don't need to know, no. I don't lie, if asked I tell them, but I don't bother to offer the information without being asked. I don't lie, but I don't advertise, I guess.

It's nobody's business anyway. And, I don't see it as "hiding".

I don’t see it as something to be hidden, I see it as something to be worn with a badge of honor and to be outright flaunted…….In the same manner as wearing a concert shirt of your favorite band.

My immediate family and everyone else with whom the topic of religion has arisen. I will not be kept in the closet and I don't care what the repercussions are.
