It certainly is not for everyone but to say those who do have a voice should not be "enthusiastic"is absurd. We can do for those stuck there what they cannot do for themselves, we have the power to speak for them.
I am one of those who are stuck there ! Not only me, all my non-theist friends live in religious families in religious societies under some kind of religious laws. But the problem is not merely a legal one (For instance in Egypt atheists are not legally punished for leaving their religions). If you are an atheist and you declare that, you will lose your father, mother, brothers, sisters, friends, wife, sons, and business. In short: you will lose your life. In Egypt we are atheists only on the internet or when there are no theists with us.
OK. An atheist by nature is allergic to nonsense. If nonsense is around you from all sides and you are forced to comply with it to some extent it will be so unbearable. What I am saying is that not to be very allergic. Try to adapt yourself till you will be released from these constraints. Otherwise, you will lose your mind.
Anyway, this is Nature and this is life. They are not ideal unfortunately.
