[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I mean we are not assholes if that is what you are saying.  We treat other people as we wish to be treated.  By undercover I mean that I put up lights on Christmas to decorate with the rest of the neighborhood, and give communion and confirmation gifts when we are invited to their parties.  Maybe that does make us assholes?

I'm an open atheist and I put up a christmas decorations because I like them -- also give figts for whatever religious (or otherwise) occasions is being celebrated.  Being atheist doesn't mean you hate other people religion, it just means you don't share it.  I think atheists ned to come 'Out" just the way gays did - so people can see we're ordinary folks and so we don't imply to ourselves that we have something to be ashamed of.

As for being "militant" - don't worry about it.  Some people are more outspoken about their beliefs (whatever they are) than others.  I've never seen a militant atheist carrying a gun or physically threatening anyone.

If you're not militant and in the closet, you're depriving people of the opportunity to know that all atheists aren't militant.[/quote]
