Thanks for sharing, this is something that a lot of atheists deal with. My boyfriend's family is strict Polish Roman Catholic. He is an atheist, like me. We will most likely get married in the next few years, but we worry about the shit storm that's going to happen once they realize that neither of us wants anything to do with religion.
I put 'secular humanist' instead of 'atheist' on Facebook. I thought it sounded a bit gentler, religious folks tend to find 'atheism' more shocking, somehow.
