My personal tips/preferences,

  1. Tell it EXACTLY as it is,
  2. IF they don't like it, then it IS their problem NOT yours to deal with,
  3. Do NOT back down under ANY circumstances what-so-ever, stick to your guns always,
  4. YOU have THROWN off the Chains and Shackles of Religious Enslavement, YOU are now FREE, remain FREE, you ARE no longer part of the Flocks of Sheeple, stay that way,
  5. and MOST important of all, Do NOT allow the Sheeple to use their pressure/s to cause you to DOUBT either yourself or YOUR decision/s.

I won’t back down from saying so if asked. If they don’t like it that’s not my problem.

I will keep it in mind.

I don't discuss religion or politics outside of agnostic.com and Twitter.
