And that's a good thing.
But I've never been closeted about my atheism. One of the main draws to a place like this (for me anyway) is that people value critical thinking and science.
Lots of woo, religion, and pseudoscience elsewhere-- when you're talking about the deep stuff, anyway. And this is despite the fact that atheism has become more mainstream.
