How many atheists are truly "out of the closet"?

How do you show your atheist pride? Bumper stickers? T-shirts? Using the Atomic symbol (American Atheists) or the pansy (Freethought)?

How many atheists are truly "out of the closet"?
I am out of the closet with all my friends and family and with many of the people at work, but not all of the folks at work. I display my Darwin fish emblem on the back of my vehicle and I get nasty stares from the jesus fish folks. I have one atheist sweatshirt I wear during the Winter Solstice season.
Reply:I'm surprised. This was my first visit to Yahoo Answers. This question appeared in my Yahoo email as part of a web search for "freethought". I like to keep up with the latest writings and thoughts on this and other related subjects.



Thanks for the kudos. Report It
Reply:I'm not an atheist, but frankly, I don't give a flying F if someone is.
Reply:I don't go around telling everyone I know that I'm an atheist but whenever it comes about I gently make references to that fact. Sometimes I don't say 'atheist' because so many people have bad associations with that word itself.
Reply:if I'm asked i speak,otherwise i don't want to be subjected to how i should believe otherwise,i don't like to be lectured to like a toddler.
Reply:Personally, I think all of the insignia out there are misrepresentative and, well... ugly. I just say what I think. Beyond that, I don't really know if there was a closet for me to begin with.
Reply:I'm up for a convention in Vegas.
Reply:i speak my mind in the midst of the enemy . dangerous thing to do .
