Unfortunately, American atheists live in an ocean of benighted people.

Let's put it this way, I'd never in my life heard the term 'Coming out' to describe someone telling others they were an atheist until I landed on this forum and started reading countless introductions from new American members.

The thought that being an atheist was something you had to keep quiet about was something that had never crossed my mind before.

That's probably considered less offensive.

Actully here are some stats
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic...sm#Germany
Its far more common in europe
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
