RE: Question for Atheists: Is coming out as an atheist as hard as coming out as gay?

I wouldn't know. I mostly just go around apologizing for enjoying white, male and straight privilege.
I don't wear my godlessness on my sleeve and I don't go there unless the person I'm in conversation with does. But I'm not 'out' as an atheist with my students. Doing that would trigger some pretty tough barriers to go up for many of the students who I really need to connect with if they're to be successful.
