I informed my parents I was an Atheist at the tender age of 8. It went something like this: Me "I don't believe in god." Mom "Your sister convinced you of this didn't she?" Me "No. Figured it out myself." Mom "Oh." That was pretty much the end of it. My parents, who were never all that religious to begin with, went on to watch plenty of George Carlin and Eddie Izzard comedy hours with me when I was a teenager and found more truth in the observations of comedians than they ever found in a church. They're kind of right there with me on the whole higher power thing now. If only it could go that easily for everyone. Congratulations on your coming out.

Glad it turned out okay. I second the "everyone", though maybe one step at a time, if there are others to whom opening up might be similarly harrowing. Phew! Glad it turned out okay.

My lapsed-Christian parents and my Christian relatives don't. Even my sister-in-law, widow of my only brother, doesn't know, and I'm fairly sure she's a Wiccan or some other kind of neo-pagan. I know, I know. I'm a bundle of contradictions. What's bizarre is that my wife, my Southern Baptist inlaws and most of my friends know I'm an atheist.
