I was always taught that faith is a private thing so if you have to tell me or show me how good of a Christian you are, you're probably not. True people of faith live their lives without advertising how awesome they are. Same goes for those of us who don't believe. (so I'm not a good atheist right now)

there are a number of reasons why you don't want to broadcast your atheism. (read: Lack of being a Christian/Member of a Church)

If you do so: (Not all apply and it depends upon the community)

1. You now will have dozens of people spend the rest of their lives trying to convert you.

2. You will be harshly judged by quite a number of these good "love-filled" Christians to be something less than human. (on par with communists and child molestors)

3. It can have a negative effect on your employment prospects.

4. It can have a negative effect on your ability to get service (if the town is small enough), or service in a timely manner from those who you need service from in a community.

5. If you have children, they will often become the objects of derision or bullying at school.

6. It can flat out lead to confrontations and to people butting into what should be your business, not theirs.

7. It can subject you to ridicule and social shunning if you are not part of the hive collective.

I've seen/experienced/witnessed all of the above to varying degrees in regard to one who has the temerity to expose themselves as an atheist/agnostic/non-christian.

the thing is we're fighting back now, making is safe for others to come out of the theist closet and into the true light of the world without fear. I know plenty of agnostics/atheists who still go to church because "it's what my family has done, and the moral lessons are good for the kids"

Think of this akin to the civil rights movement, the gay rights movement and the woman's rights movement, this is the time for the non-theist rights movement.
