Openly Atheist
Out of curiosity, how open is everyone about being an Atheist? Are you out to your relatives? Neighbors? Friends in TX? At work?

My husband and I don't celebrate holidays much (secular or religious). We mostly use the opportunity to relax. I tell people "Happy Holidays" and seek out those who celebrate the minority winter holidays (Solstice, etc.). I sending out Holiday cards this year and bought presents for young cousins and best friends...but I like giving people presents and I don't call them x-mas gifts.
Wow, I couldn't even imagine telling my students (when I was teaching) about my religious stance. Part of that might be because I taught Biology and a lot of the students are uber-religious here. What grade/age do you teach? Do you have to deal with parent reactions?
