Much like the other replies in this thread, I don't make of point of declaring my atheism. It isn't as if I meet new people, shake their hand and say, 'Lovely to meet you. I'm an atheist.'
But, again like the other replies, if it comes up, I make no bones about it. Perfect example: Shortly after we moved here, the couple next door invited us to Sunday services (Methodist). I told them, 'Thanks for thinking of us, be we're atheists.' The woman paused for a moment and said, 'Would you like to go to a film sometime, then?'
This was several years ago, we're still friends with them. Lovely, sweet people.
