Sounds familiar! I am an atheist with a Facebook friends list full of fundamentalists most of whom do not know that I am an atheist. I grew up in a fundamentalist church, went to college with them, married one, etc. Almost everyone I have ever been remotely close to was or is a fundamentalist. Sometimes I get posts like this myself and am tempted to come out of the closet. I can’t quite see myself doing that though. I’ve told my closest friends, the ones I still spend time with. I suppose it might be a public service to let those less close to me know, to put in a plug for unbelief and reason. I know how much it would upset some people, though, and it just doesn’t sound like much fun.
