If asked, do you feel comfortable telling people, that you don’t know that well, that you are an atheist?

I have been known to do that.
What gets me the most are those with an open mouth who ask "then who do you worship?" Evangelical church was never worship. It was singing, talking, flowery praying, and ass kissing, along with a few whoops and running around the building a couple of times. Then somebody says "god really blessed Sister Sarah today."

Like how much power does this hypothetical person have over me? I've planned my life so I don't have any religious bosses or anything. If a cop pulled me over and was interrogating me about my religious practices I might be like "oh that's private... my family's episcopalian" etc.

I don't usually discuss my religious beliefs with people I don't know well. Religion is not central to my life and I do not seek to impose my own religious beliefs on others.

Me too. I'm in the bible belt, so I avoid it at all cost.
If asked i spill the beans without shame. Never had a problem with it.

I try to avoid it. Mainly because if it develops into an argument, they don't rely on facts. It's like asking if I believe in Batman.

Yes I find that religious folks are so steeped in cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy it is pointless to have a conversation especially with those in the Abrahamic Faiths. It becomes a contentious conversation that just makes them mad.
Ask and I'll answer, if they are carrying torches and pointed hoods over their heads I may be diplomatic but it is what it is.

I am. There is nothing wrong with my beliefs. As long as you express and explain what you're saying without being hurtful or insulting.

Do you live in USA? If so I would be shocked if you lived in the South. That has rarely been my experience so I usually keep my mouth shut.
Yes. I will answer if asked, but it just doesn't come up in conversation that much.

I do. I don't want people to assume that I want to hear their religious b.s. if they start spouting it. I don't.

I'm comfortable with it. I've thought extensively on the subject and I am fully prepared to reinforce my argument.

If asked, I make no secret of it, but I don't go out of my way to force it on people.
