Should I come out?
#14
RE: Should I come out?
I dunno'. I live in Canada where everyone is atheist or if they're religious, they don't even think about it - so the idea of 'coming out' as an atheist seems silly from my perspective. Even if I would move to the bible belt of the US, I'd still be openly atheist.

What exactly does an open and known atheists in the heart of the bible belt get from the religious, anyway? Are there actually chances of physical harm or do they just shun you? I'd fucking love it if a bunch of people who I thought were dumbfucks shunned me, so that can't be the problem.
