Well, Oz/NZ are pretty non religious places so I can only speak from family experience, since the majority of my family are Catholic or JW (don't ask, I have a bloody weird family).

Since family get togethers involve lots of theists and the atheist - my father, myself, and my brother - are in a minority the discussion of religion comes up a lot. I've never doubted my atheism in such situations, though for a while my brother was on the fence.

Two of my Catholic aunts presented me with a bible as a Christmas present at one get together a number of years ago. In response I bought them a copy of Hitchens' God is not Great.

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
