Or do you mumble it under your breath when someone asks you about your religion? Did you always feel this way? If not, what changed how you feel about your atheism?
Personally, I'm very proud to be able to call myself an atheist. I was raised in a Jewish home but always knew in the back of my mind that I didn't actually believe any of it. I stopped considering myself Jewish in my teens but never said anything about it to anyone else, not because I was ashamed but because I didn't know how they would react. Finally I just decided that I didn't really care what people had to say about my beliefs (or lack thereof) and their reactions weren't my problem. Now, I'll tell anyone who asks that yes, I am an atheist. You can either deal with it and respect me regardless or move along.
That's my story, what's yours?
