I was raised in an italian american catholic home (only in name) I did communion and confirmation and all that shit but in all honesty that was probably the only 2 times I've ever been in church since baptism. My family does not go to church. So when I alerted my family nobody gave a fuuuuuuuuuuuck. I mentioned it in passing and you would've thought i asked if there was milk in the house. My parents shrugged and said "ok" and my pops chuckled a little.
Personally my story is not interesting but i have heard from many other people that told their family that they were atheist when they were young and it didnt turn out well. Anybody
An atheist came out of a bar, Mazel Tov!

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
