Atheists: How many people know you are atheist?
Do you tell anyone you are atheist? Or do you keep it to yourself? Do your parents know? Siblings? Close Friends? Not-so-close Friends? People you hate?
Anyways. I tell everyone who asks. If I just so happen to wind up in a conversation of people announcing their religion, I'll say I'm atheist. So, all of my close friends know, many not close friends. Even a lot of people I hate. If I don't know the person I'm saying it to very well, I'll base my opinion on them based on their reaction.
The only people I will never reveal it to are my parents, It would be to awkward. I don't think they would really care to much. But if I just walk up to them and say I'm atheist, they might react negatively. Actually, I think my dad is atheist, and I think he knows I'm atheist as well. But my mom doesn't know I'm atheist. My brother knows, because hes atheist as well, although our opinions of religion differ (mine far less... kind).
So yeah, pretty much everyone I know except my mom :/ How many people know you are atheist?
EDIT: and please explain why
