I don't know why an atheist would openly want to do the same though. The potential alienation outweigh the benefits.
Whoaaa. Are you suggesting that Atheists ought to be in the closet?
If someone asks me I tell them I don't believe in god because it's true, I have nothing to be ashamed of, and I'm an honest person. If someone would alienate me over that, it's probably not someone I would want to have anything to do with anyway.
