But the other edgy teenage atheists grew up too. Mature, adult, atheists can be really cool to hang with! We don't talk about religion hardly ever in my friend group. The difference is that religion doesn't influence our conversation at all, which can be really nice.

I bet there's also a difference between "raised atheist" and "raised religious and rebelling". My atheist kid forgets religion exists until living in America/Texas brings it up

As I said, I am non-religious / an atheist myself. Was raised christian, but my parents were cool with me being an atheist, later becoming non-religious themselves. What I was mainly referring to are the people actively trying to make fun of - or belittling - religious people. Edit: I am all for criticizing and making fun of organized religion.
