I remember reading somewhere that if you poll Christians anonymously, almost 20% of them are atheists or agnostics, but if you poll them publicly 100% of them are Christians.
There isn't much benefit to doing it.
You get to join the atheist parade every year and can go to atheist club every Sunday!
Atheist here. What’s the problem?
i have had many conversations where people assume i'm christian is a way that makes me really uncomfortable; my choices are to "well, actually," or plaster a fake smile and nod in agreement.
i do the latter, but i hate it.
Do you live in Indiana? Because I do. And in a lot of Indiana, saying that out loud will cause you a lot of problems.
The lack of support structure, and the frequently harsh consequences for announcing your beliefs (or lack there of). Becoming an atheist usually means your not joining a new group either as there isnt exactly a weekley meeting of the "we dont believe in X" club. (TST tries to help with this)
On top of that leaving some groups can be very bad for ones mental and physical health. JW and Islam have parts of their dogma that supports retaliation against individuals who leave. (not picking on them, just the ones off the top of my head, im sure there are others)
With that in mind the calculus changes, one has to weigh the risks of announcing that you are questioning the beliefs of a group that you are a part of and if they are going to react rationally while you think their beliefs are irrational.
Unlilke Deists such as me, that will tell you all about it quicker than a vegan :P
