Below I've put the link to an article on alternet.org that I felt would be of interest:

I know that in my case, and I am sure it's common, that being honest about my unbelief has indeed cost me. I have two sisters who don't speak to me anymore. One is a Catholic nun and the other runs her parish's religious education program. Fortunately my in-laws don't give a hoot what I believe, they just take people as they find them.
Anyway, it's an interesting article and I hope you'll enjoy it.
