Where you live may make a considerable difference; "There are more churches, per capita, in 'Dixie', than in any other region of the US." (A quote from a show on cable about facts surrounding the southeastern states.) Along with more churches, the politics as well, lean heavily toward conservative values. My nephew recently told me I was going to hell because I turned away from God. It goes without saying that, finally, someone at a church quilting ministry asked me what church I go to. That got the whole room involved!

I have a similar experience with my family. my parents are devout Catholics and would probably prefer that I come back to the fold but they make no issue of it.In other areas with people not of my family I don't get a lot of flack because I have been trained to blandly stare at people with odd beliefs and nod my head thus not eliciting defensive angry responses

In my case, no - because I live in a very secular society. In your case, I suspect that as an intelligent, educated scientist, you move in circles mostly populated by people of above-average intelligence who are open to different ideas.

Most places I have worked, the word Jesus has come up in someones vocabulary and not as in "Oh Jesus" or "Jesus that is ......" More in a biblical sense.

I would say you are pretty fortunate .... so far. I'm sure it is just a matter of time before a devout Christian goes full fire and brimstone on you.

Not an issue for me, I live in So Cal where pretty much nobody bothers or cares about that stuff enough to confront you.

Me either

No, you're not an outlier, but probably are in the minority. I think probably most atheists are deconverts, and many of those have (to put it very nicely) "devout" relatives, or live in the Bible Belt where there's a ton of social signaling around what church you go to and so forth, from both relatives and emploiyers.

Like you, I've been quite fortunate, I can't say that it's ever been an issue -- despite that I'm a deconvert from Christian fundamentalism. My family is just one of those rare fundy families that knows how to mind its own business. Also, my parents are gone and I only have 1 of 2 surviving siblings still in the faith anyway.

I live in a very liberal enclave in the northeast, not the Bible Belt.

I'm an independent contractor, and have never had a client be so unprofessional as to ask me about my (lack of) faith. To be on the safe side, I don't discuss it with them either.
