Oddly enough, when i realized that i held no gods, i didn't make any announcements. i suppose i must have mentioned it to my then-best-friend (in school); i know we discussed it. it turns out she didn't believe in any gods either. it really wasn't something that ordinarily came up in conversation in most settings. my family never discussed such beliefs. we were secular jews. "what do you want for chanukah?" was about as close as we ever got to discussing religion.

Bought up in a non religious household so didn't need to come out of the atheist closet. Am happy to tell anyone I don't believe in beings in the sky! I also say that I respect their right to believe in what they want to.

My mom was an atheist and my dad an agnostic, so it would have been weird to come out as a theist.

My boyfriend.

I have been atheist for so long, that I'm not sure. A lot of people figured it out, when I declined church membership, and danced naked under the full moon.

One of my best friends when I was just out of the Army and back in a Community College getting my head cleared. I did not understand the concept of being Agnostic, but lived the life most of my life 'Being a Healthy Skeptic' and then I found Bart Ehrman, Christopher Hitchens along with reading the livers of Martin Buber, Erasamus, Wylcliff, Calvin and Jan Hus.

I was lucky enough to not have been brought up in a religious household, so I was never a believer.
So I never had that 'coming out' experience.
But as to the first person. hmm, i guess maybe in a conversation with some one who was religious, but I've had too many of those to remember when was the first.

My older sister. She eventually became a nun.
