What is the point in openly identifying your beliefs in public? What point does it serve? My view is such views are personal and need not be expressed in everyday life.
There is a difference between not conspicously displaying your beliefs, and refusing to mention them at all,or even lying about them. I only mark 'atheist' on surveys I know my parents will never see (assuming that it asks for your religion).
