Open, because I don't give a fuck what people think. I express it even if it's not welcomed.

A little bit of both. I'm open with my family and close friends. Most of my old church friends have no idea. If it comes up I'll tell them. Otherwise I don't push the issue. Of course, I was the same when I was religious.

I am openly atheist but I don't wear it like a badge. I feel that I should not be afraid of any of my beliefs being exposed, I don't wear it like a badge because that would be arrogant and inconsiderate of others feelings and beliefs.

Open with most people. Closeted when it comes to immediate family. They are very religious and I worry about the concern it would cause them to know.

I see no reason to hide. If we all had the courage to come out and call things like they are perhaps one day all religion would fade away and society could concentrate on important things like climate change.

Belief has divided the world and pits one belief against another. Like my page on facebook: [facebook.com]

Open agnostic (borderline atheist) per se, but I never pronounce it to those around me out of the same respect that I don't like theists throwing doing it. If you ask me, I'll tell you. I won't bring it up unprovoked as it seems just as annoying as some theist doing their pompous routine.

You won't find a Coexist or Rocket fish sticker on my car because: (1) it looks stupid, and (2) I love my car and don't want some salty theist keying it.

Closeted agnostic. I do not want to lose love or respect of those that I love and respect. This subject is too complex to bring openly to those I love; it would hurt them so terribly and I don't want to lose them, their love or respect and I don't want to argue over endless elements.

Open but I don't wear the shirt. I don't care what others are I wish others didn't care what I am.

Open. I wore my Antitheist t-shirt to work one day. Didn't go over too well. LOL
I was asked not to wear it again.

Open, but not obnoxious like a vegan. I even have it listed on my ERB (for those in the military). No ones ever challenged me on it, even when I don't bow my head at ceremonies.

I own a business in the Bible Belt. sigh. Closet it is for me.

I've been open about it since I studied philosophy in undergrad, even though I was the oldest son raised in an Orthodox Jewish family and community. It was difficult at first but a couple of my siblings and my mom later joined me and it has now been about twenty-five years. Over the past few years, I have become more actively involved in helping others that have left fundamentalist religious environments.

Open 95 % of the time

I don't really talk about it much, since I live in Tennessee. I've masted the art of talking about Christianity with believers without ever mentioning myself, but if they ever do ask, I do tell them I'm an atheist. Usually they never ask though, because of the speech I deploy as a matter of convenience.

Open but I am not one of those who needs to remind everyone about it. I am willing to respect your beliefs and expect the same in return, if you can't then that's their problem not mine.

Somewhere in between. I try to avoid discussions of religion, and don't really talk about being an atheist, since I live in KY which is a highly religious area, but if anyone were to investigate my facebook page, it is pretty obvious, as I follow a lot of atheist pages.

Never had a reason to be a closet atheist. If anybody had a problem with it they could shove it.

Ive been an open agnostic for years. I like the members that i represent to know as much about me and my beliefs so that they can be open to ask questions and learn where my stance comes from.

I'm not really an atheist more of an agnostic and yeah I am pretty much open. I don't advertise, but if I am asked I tell them. I work with kids at a residential treatment center in the school and I try to represent a good role model and show the children that you can be a good trustworthy person and not be religious.

I’m starting to be more open, but I still am closeted with most people in my life. It’s very frustrating that I worry how my beliefs are going to affect them and/or our relationship when I am the same person they have always known. There are days when I get on FB and see all kind of religious posts and just feel like I’m going to lose it and put up a post that lets EVERYONE know and let the chips fall where they fall. I feel like a volcano ready to erupt.

I'm open with everyone, all the time. It got exhausting to hide, and when I grew up and had my own life going, I didn't really have a reason to. I've lost friends and my relationship with certain family members has suffered somewhat, but I reached the point where I was willing to take that risk in order to be my authentic self. That sounds really douchey (I can't believe I just said "authentic self"...wow) but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I'm open about it with friends and family but I keep it out of work for the same reason I don't talk about my Politics and my Sex Life. Although if I'm confronted with a direct question from a coworker, I tell them I'm "not religious".

I am a witch... healer... who believes we are ignorant of physical processes and have religion to thank for it. I believe we create our own realities. I am openly who I am and have been for over 50 years
