I definitely get the warm and fuzzies with our culture. The other day, I found out one of my coworkers is an atheist, and we instantly clicked with all of the inside jokes you mentioned. It's a real thing.
We are each others first time meeting an atheist in RL. Although there is only one commonality amongst atheists (and even that differs), there are little signs that helped me guess he was an atheist. He and I were talking about Facebook, when he tells me he doesn't have any of his family friended, citing ideological differences as the reason. Now, I know a religious, right wing douche wouldn't take the higher ground by avoiding confrontation, so I guessed (internally) that he was probably liberal, which makes it more probable that he may be an atheist. So I say "Let me guess, you're a die-hard Republican creationist." And I tried to sound dead serious. In reaction, he says "No! I'm an atheist." Haha I explained that I had guessed and was only joking with him. We clicked straight away with all the inside jokes and even shared our reasons for deconversion, which we do often here at AF. Even though he's not a member here, sharing his deconversion story seemed normal to him, like it was part of his culture to share that story.

I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
