I'm really lucky, because my parents are atheist, my sister pantheist and my cousin and best friend a pagan, so coming out to them wasn't really a problem. As for my grandparents, well, my maternal ones aren't religious and I guess they'll find out that something's 'amiss' when I don't get married in church. The rest of my friends are mostly atheists too, with the exception of a few christians and muslims, but they all know and we respect each other's point of view and really rarely talk about religion.
But it's up to you and your hubby to decide if it's a good thing to come out to your relatives and friends. Sometimes it might backfire, sometimes not, and you two are the best judges of that.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
