I am open to those that know me. If asked, I will for sure let them know I don't partake in any religious dogma. Its that simple.

Open - because when i was a child I wasn't noticed by anyone ,left to my own devices, thought of as 'that strange child' I don't know why but I lied all the time - I never told the truth - at some point someone must have asked me why and as I didnt have a good enough reason I decided to always tell my truth - Its the least important thing about me, for myself, that I am an atheist so I don't mind who knows.

Open. Because lol.

Neither, because I'd like my lack of religious zeal to be a nothingness of no consequence to me or anybody else . I have no need to tell anybody what my opinion of a sky god is and I have no wish to hear about theirs. I wouldn't for example try to explain myself to somebody by telling them all the things I don't like we tend to make friends on positives "oh you like cheese on toast too! wow! come on! My treat!

Both. It depends on the context.

It can be dangerous for your work life.

I don't do public speaking engagements regarding my atheism, nobody asked me so far, but I'll chuck in my tuppence worth in a discussion at work for instance. I'm certainly more vocal about not letting a god assumption be slipped in to a chat though.

OPEN ! I don't tolerate fools well, so I avoid random conversation. The FAM knows where my husband and I both stand, and choose not to open that conversation with us ever again. Good call on their part. WHY? Because I can. I'm ruthless to debate. My friends are intelligent, and we find more important things to discuss.

Open, but I don't feel the need to announce it to anyone unless I am asked.

I'm open and honest with my Mother's (Baptist) side of my family about my atheism, and that's an interesting balancing act. I don't hide myself from those who love me, but I'm sure my mom feels that she failed at raising me. At least in God's view. This has got to weigh heavily on her, and I feel bad for her. Bad. For her. Not guilty for myself. Important difference. Still, it's a bummer. As far as the world at large, I would never lie, but I've learned to judge whether or not the beehive that is my present company whomever they be is worth kicking.

Open atheist - I suppose why not? - I don't proseletyse My Atheism means very little to me - merely an absence of, and not a fight, so - I think I would tell anybody without worrying unless they wanted to beat me up for it .

Open. It's pretty safe to be a nontheist where I live: even our Congressperson is!

Open to family, closet at work. I lead a dichotomous existance.

I'm open somewhat but very careful because some people could love your presence and if the word atheist comes up their whole mood and perception of you changes. If they decide to avoid after that, their loss thats how I see it. I do try to give signs so they won't be surprised when they find out. I don't like to be decieved so I search for the truth no matter how uncomfortable it is and some people dislike that.

Open but very few people ask and I am in N.Ireland now.

Closet atheist...... Reason: I don't wanna die yet #livinginislamiccountry

I'm open about being atheist with all of my close friends. I don't post it on social media because I'm afraid I'll be negatively judged by many people.

Very open. Why - because I believe in integrity and being honest about who I am and what I believe. I don't go around preaching the gospel of it though. Did that when I was a Christian, and vowed never to make the same mistake twice.

100% open. It took awhile to get there, but it was a lot easier after all my Christian friends bailed

Open .not many people ask though!

I'm open about it. I have a friend who is a Jehovah's Witness, and he used to challenge me on biblical views. I've always had responses to his challenges, and eventually he gave up. Now we hang out, video games, grab a beer, or just go grab lunch and catch up. But I have been very up-front and open about my atheism to everyone I meet who inquires. If someone can't be friends with me for being an atheist, then I deserve better and more accepting friends who aren't judgmental.

Open but reserved, engage when appropriate.

Open, the more i say it the less people have to

I won't wear a ball cap or badge proclaiming my agnosticism, but if people start talking about religion I won't be shy about my position.

Neither. I don’t hide it but I don’t display it. If someone asks I’ll tell them but I don’t go out of my way to advertise it, I just live my life.

Open, I don't hide it.
