We've come a long way in the last thirty years, but we still have farther to go. We can't say we live in a truly secular society if people can't be open about their faith or lack. Too many communities feel entitled to punishing anyone who doesn't conform to their expectations.

I became an atheist when I was about 9 years old. I didn't tell anyone in my family until I was over 50 years old. I still keep it quiet in mixed company. I am damned lucky I was able to find a partner who was raised an atheist.
