What exactly do you mean by "out of the closet"? When people asked you about you religion before did you lie to them & say you followed a religion?

Yes, and I echo Goldwater's concerns.

too many atheists identify as 'agnostic'  or they say something like 'im not religious...im spiritual...'

by being out of the closet i mean:  when you are asked about your religion do you identify as *atheist*

I'm atheist-curious. But I'm also Hindu-curious. And I self-identify as being Jewish, and occasionally practice Judaism.

In that case I guess my answer would be no, because although I don't believe in god I identify as agnostic because I don't think the existence of god is something that can proved or disproved.

What do you think?  Closets are far too constricting for my huge ego. I prefer spending my time in "great rooms." Tongue

Logically of course it is "near Atheist." Even with my hubris, who can know to a certainty? None of our species at least.

Yeah, but I came out of that closet more than twenty years ago.

No, because I'm not an atheist. Even if I didn't believe in God I wouldn't be inclined to use that particular label.

No. I'm actually a partially closeted Christian.

     Yes, but I live in San Francisco so there would be no point in obfuscating my atheism. Among my peers, it would be stranger to fear God.

Just kidding around. You called yourself a "partially closeted Christian," so I figured I'd be tongue-in-cheek and say "busted." But to clarify, I was just kidding with you. I'm Christian too. There's plenty of us.
