Closet Atheist Coming Out and Telling Family and Friends You're An Atheist
Coming out as an Atheist can be very difficult. Telling your Family, Friends, and those around you're an atheist can be a tough decision to do. A lot of people go their whole entire lives believing in fairy tales and do it just to appease their family and not be ostracized from them. There are two backgrounds a person is if they tell their family. You're either finically independent or financially dependent. If you're financially dependent then it better not to tell your parents. And if you're independent its up to you and it can be a tough decision as well. But there are a ton of organizations for Atheist to be a part off and meet other Atheist.
American Atheists
http://www.atheists.org/
Secular Student Alliance
http://www.secularstudents.org/
American Humanist Association
http://www.americanhumanist.org/
National Atheist Party
http://www.usanap.org/
Freedom From Religion Foundation
http://ffrf.org/
And if you can't find one you like or there are none by where you live be a trendsetter and make your own organization and have open invites to people in the paper<SNIP>
