How often does religious affiliation come up in daily convetrsation? I've never known or cared about a person's beliefs. No one ever questioned me about what I think.

Hello. Recent “deconvert” here deep in the Bible Belt. Guess I’m still in the closet, but a few of my trusted friends know and are accepting. But I DO NOT bring it up; there is no reason to unless someone wants to have a legitimate conversation. It seems like literally 95% of the people here are theists. Honestly, I fear losing some of my closest friends, who are religious, if “come out.” It will eventually, I’m sure. But here in deep east Texas, there’s no reason to publicize it.
