I haven't said a word to any real life friends and have just been going with the flow. That way I can avoid all the drama but I feel like I'm not exactly free just yet. Maybe I can only be truly free in life once I start discussing the things I have discussed on here with the people around me in real life...
This is a good idea. I started calling myself an atheist a couple of years ago, and was terrified at first to admit it to anyone (most people in this area are either Protestant or Catholic). However, when I started to openly discuss it with people, they were really supportive and didn't care a jot that I didn't agree with them. Extremely lucky to be honest.
Hopefully the people in your life will be this cool with it too
