If they ask me, I tell them. They like the brainwashing, I like thinking for myself.

I don't believe in any gods, I only believe in things that can be proven. I am not superstitious and I do not think any religions are true.

I had some Mormons come to the door, and told them that I was an evolutionary biologist (which is partially true). That was a short conversation.

all of my wife's family are very religious so I pretty much keep it to myself, if any one were to ask I would not deny it though

I just say it no shame here.

What I believe is NONE of their business. Unless someone is specifically interested in me and my beliefs... 99% of religious people want to TELL you their religion, not learn about yours.

if asked i say i am an atheist
but i don't go round shouting about it
i don't like the godsquads preaching at me so why would i do it
if you have a mind decide for yourself

If asked I am honest and very proud of it. But I do not walk up and ask someone if they are a christian etc because I find it rude. If it comes up in conversation then ok. Lets talk.

When a conversation turns to this subject, I always just say that I am a devout atheist, and the subject usually gets abruptly changed.

I am proud of being an atheist, so I just say I am an Atheist, if the issue of religion ever comes up or at holidays when people ask weird questions..but sometimes my "Proud Atheist" or "This is what an Atheist looks like T shirts " gve me away.

I just let them know if they bring up religion.

I really only mention it in response to someone pushing their religeon onto me, otherwise live and let live.

Whenever it seems appropriate or necessary, I tell people simply that I am an atheist. If they want to pursue that for whatever reason, I will engage them. I am who I am and if other folks can't deal with it, it's not my problem.

my atheist necklace gives it away 100% of the time

i tell only the ones who ask me. to be a muslim and one day to say to people who know you you are an atheist its like you make a decision to die! so i chose to tell only who i am sure that they will understand and who don't judge.

Unless it comes up, I don't. Have been known to hedge by saying "I;m not Christian". Being braver now and just saying "atheist" if they're trying to push a religious identity on me.

It's dangerous in my country to say that

I'm straight forward about me being atheist but I don't bring up religion, unless someone else starts it. I'm respectful about it and will talk about it, but I do tell tell them if they ask me.

I tell them straight out - I am not ashamed of being an Atheist and I remind them that my parents taught me to think for myself, question, read and then make a decision.

I never bring up religion unless someone else brings it up first, or if i'm venting about something and it just happens to slip out. If religion is brought up, most people around me are religious, and they'll ask me if I am, I always respond no. They then want to question why I am not, and tell them it doesn't matter and to just move on.

I just come right out and say.. I am non religious.. I don't need that in my life. It serves no purpose for me. They ask me.. so you don't believe in god? I come back with... which god are you referring to. That usually stops them dead in their tracks.

That kind of depends how the subject comes up. If we seem to be hitting things off and I think they should know where I stand, I just calmly tell them my stance on belief and hope for the best. If they're constantly talking about their religious views, or start off with religious rhetoric from the moment we meet, then I'll just tell them right out that I don't believe in any of it, and as long as they don't push it on me, we're cool, but if they do, I'm out.

You could say "I am not a church goer," or " I am not a believer."

What do you respond with when someone ends the conversation with "Have a blessed day"? For some reason I find this extremely offensive. It's their way of getting the last jab in.

I tell them I stopped having imaginary friends when I turned 5... .-.
