You described very well what I want to achieve, if it is possible. Because I don't feel my present approach (being absolutely silent about my beliefs or lack therefore) is found wanting.

However in my opinion the Minimalist plus Norfolk and Chance are right to an extent that some people (including I am afraid who I would count as friends) are truly offended even if you say your an atheist in the most sugar coated language. They are the ones who have a lack of maturity and only being mature (as you define it) will only go so far.
