In general, I'm quiet about it. Actually, one person knows that I am an atheist, so I'm very quiet about it. On here, I vent my quiet struggles and frustrations. With my family, I keep it quiet, but with others that I meet I'm happy to be vocal about it if the subject comes up; I don't feel the need to talk about it ever. When I was going to church with my family for 6 months as a non-religious person, I had to come out and tell them I didn't believe in it anymore, because it made me sick to my stomach to go the catholic ceremony of retardation. I don't feel it's necessary to come out as an atheist quite yet, as I'd be looked at as even more demon possessed than I already am to a few of the insanely, conservative, radical, bigoted, judgmental catholic goofs I'd have to deal with.
If I had an atheist friend that shared my hatred of religion, I'm sure we'd be vocal about it quite often.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
