I had tons of people posting religious pictures, bible verses, asking for prayers, etc. So I started posting Atheism pictures, quotes, etc. on my page and kept track of how many people unfriended me or sent me messages to knock it off.
You're making me want to try this Except the only person who was explicitly posting religious stuff was a person I didn't actually know and she already unfriended me when I had the gall to post a history lesson on her "Keep Christ in Christmas" post.
So I doubt it would be very fun.
Oh, and no, I don't generally talk about my atheism because it never comes up. I've only had conversations about it with my best friend, and even calling those conversations is stretching the term as it usually involves me ranting and her silently nodding until I'm done.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
