Should I hide my atheism?

[chatpilot]

The way I see it; I live in New York and there are more theists here of every brand and sort than roaches. I have to listen to them preaching in the streets, on the subway, they knock on my door etc. I feel that the same rights that they have to spew their mythical lies and force their views down the throats of everyone else, are the same rights that allow me to aver vehemently that I am an atheist and I do so with pride. My entire family is aware of my atheism and apparently I am the only atheist to my knowledge in my family. When questioned about my beliefs I do not care where I am I will answer in the negative when it comes to my belief in the biblical god or any god for that matter. Seriously speaking though, I believe that if I was born during the inquisition I would have died an atheist martyr for my unbelief. I am a stubborn bastard when it comes to certain things.
