open to all that ask

open. It is my choice.

Open and happy about it.

Open. Glad to be counted with those who don't have an imaginary friend.

Open
I don’t get in people’s faces but:
I would join a march.
I would be in a debate if asked.
I have a bumper sticker that announces to all that “I am going to hell in every religion”
I try not to inflame reactions while not backing down from argument.
I try to keep a sense of humor.

Open, although will not state so unless asked. What usually happens is someone (often a family member) looks to me for agreement that "God is good " or similar and I either don't respond, walk away or say something dismissive. Not intentionally. Just an automatic response. For years I haven't practiced Catholicism and can't remember the last time I said I would pray for or about someone, but none in family noticed until recently.

Open, in the sense that if it comes up then I'll happily talk about being atheist. But if it's not relevant to the conversation, then I won't be the one to bring it up. Not a big fan of preachy, aggressive people whether their atheist or theist!

Open. Why not?

I'm in a place of questioning and share with close friends about what confuses me about the supposed character of "God" and why the planet is in a state of pollution and corruption.
The jury is still out.

I'm open about being an atheist. My workplace and community are not particularly religious, so it doesn't affect my job or relationship with friends or neighbours. I also enjoy a good debate, so if the Mormons or JW happen to knock at my door while I'm home, I'd invite them in for tea and a chat. They don't have any evidence that is likely to convince me otherwise, but perhaps I can sow some doubts in them.

Open because I think that frankly most people are truly at least agnostic but they are so afraid that it isn't socially acceptable that they won't admit it. When the subject comes up (I certainly don't bring it up) I find that at least 80% of people I talk to who are under 50 don't believe that it is anything more than a fable.

Simple, do good things and avoid evil.

I was in the closet from about the age of twelve until one day, while on a job walk with one of my superintendents, a born again at that, I open the door and game out with both barrels blasting. I love being out and free to proud to say I am an atheist.

open and proud. it actually helps prevent religious conversations around me. there are even a couple others at work like me

Open and widely. My stance is: If someone has the right to speak his/her thoughts so why don't I do the same?

Open if asked. Frankly telling people seems as invasive as being religious and having to preach. If someone is interested I'll gladly tell them.

Always have been honest that I am not now, and have never been, superstitious.

I am very open with my atheism. Why, is because I'm not living in a theocracy.

After a lot of consideration and years of being in the closet on the religious side, I'm out about most things now. It's cost me connection with people, as I've not got embedded in the local Atheist community yet, but I am not sure it's cost me friendships per se, as I feared it might. I don't ramp about it, but anybody who asks gets the truth, and I belong to several Atheist and Agnostic groups on Facebook.

I'm open about it, although I don't proselytize or push it into other people's faces.

Open to some (peers and friends), closeted around religious family.

I have no problem being open about my atheism. People frequently throw their religion in my face where I work, I have no hesitation letting them know where I stand as well.

open agnostic

open atheist/humanist. I'm a humanist chaplain now and working to spread seeds.. A guy last week was shocked and he said "how can you be a chaplain and not be xtian?"

I'm open about it — and even in rural areas like where I live, it's not stigmatized like it once was (though i'm sure there are many exceptions). I don't open a conversation with my lack of belief, though, and I don't volunteer the information generally unless there's some direct relevance to the conversation or situation. My family knows, and some of them think I'm broken and want to "fix" me, but for the most part it plays no significant role in my life or relationships.

I'm an open atheist and outspoken about it to a degree, depending on the time and place. I was a closeted atheist for many years. I felt pretty much alone. Then I discovered a local community of atheists, hiding behind the term "Freethought". I respect their wish to be passive in that term, but it's what makes it hard for others to know about other like minded groups around them. Most of the religious folks have no problem displaying symbols, slogans or professing their belief, so it's easy for them to identify who is who. So I borrow from that concept. I frequently wear the "Circle A" symbol on a necklace. I often wear shirts with some sort of relevance, even if it is just more pop culture relevance to open mindedness. I do have a couple shirts that are flat out labeled as atheist or secular. I have had a lot of people come up to me and thank me for wearing them. Saying they could never do it, but glad someone is. The same goes for bumper stickers on my vehicle. I started doing this outward projection right after a week long hospital stay where every time I woke up I was confronted with a Jesus figure on a cross hanging on the wall in front of me. The hospital Chaplin came in to pray for me even after I specifically told them not to allow it. I do it to normalize atheism.
