It's interesting to see the varying responses from atheists in this thread. For some, it was difficult to give up their faith, or to come out publicly while living in a very religious environment. For others, it was a no brainer, and nobody around them really cared.
I'm in that latter category. My family's Jewish, but very secular. We've always celebrated the holidays, but that's about it. Deciding that Judaism is my ethnic and cultural heritage, but not my religious belief, wasn't particularly traumatic, and nobody around me seems to care, though I haven't discussed it with much of my family. It just isn't important enough to bother discussing with the family members I don't see regularly.
