Not telling anyone/talking about it for so long was hard. I told my best friend, who is a Christian, but she accepts me for me and it doesn't bother her.
Anyways, I've been dating my boyfriend for over a year and just recently told him I dont believe, while drunk. Not the smartest move, but anyway he freaked out and told me he does, definitely does blah blah. Haven't talked about it since, what should I do about that?? We never really talked much about religion until that night.
Also, should I ever tell my parents? They are Christians, don't go to church to often but definitely very Christian. They drag me to church sometimes and I HATE it, literally can't stand it. Any thoughts on this? Im afriad it willl break my parents heart.
Again, this never ceases to amaze me. I'm assuming that you are American based on my experience of these forums if nothing else.
If you were to come and live here in England, make a few friends and then, after you pluck up the courage, tell them that you were an atheist the reaction you would receive would be underwhelming to say the least, generally along the lines of "OK", "So what?", "Yeah, so am I" etc. etc.
The fact that there are 'civilised' countries in the world were being an atheist is something you have to keep to yourself for fear of reprisals and judgement still baffles me :S
Welcome to the forums also
