I've said before that I told my mom when I was 16/17 but since then I think she's forgotten.

My dad doesn't know, but neither do I think he cares. He's way more active on facebook than my mom so if he sees my posts he could probably piece together that I'm not friendly to religion but I don't know if he would conclude that I'm an atheist.

My best friend knows, but only because I rant to her sometimes.

Other than that I have an "if it comes up I won't lie" policy, and because religion almost never comes up most people don't know. I'm not planning on telling anyone I'm an atheist, it'll just happen when it happens.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
