Are you a "closet" Atheist?

[abaris]

Can anybody share any anecdotes of "coming out" or similar moments of honesty?

Nope, to tell the truth, where I live, it just doesn't come up. Nobody bothers, nobody preaches and hardly anyone tries to discriminate. Well, of course, there are always some conservatards.

Creatards we simply don't know. I'm sure there are some hidden somewhere, but they don't have any publicity.

So, in short, I think the whole coming out business is confined to the USA when it comes to ex christian atheism.

having raised 3 children (adults now) as christians, I am torn weather to tell them or not. My wife knows and that is about it.

When you feel it's the right time, I think it would be the right thing to do. Don't do it, if you feel they would love you any less.
