Howdy! I believe a portion of us are in the atheist closet as well.

Hi Sorz, welcome to the forum.  Don't worry about if you are in or out of the closet; whether that is practical has a lot to do with where you live and what you do for a living.

Welcome Sorz... stay in the closet for as long as you need to.  It's a scary world out here once you let it all out.  :-)

Hidy-ho, Sorz. I'll bet almost every member here has some kind of closet--relatives, friends, neighbors, etc. . . mine's the workplace. But here you can throw your clothes on the floor.
 :D

I don't understand what coming out of the closet means.....for atheism

For gays, it's a biological link.  For us theism, vs, w/e 'ism' is just a belief.
IMO

Atheists are the last minority it's ok to discriminate against. Some Atheists recieve violence, death threats, loose thier jobs, get disowned, loose friends, or alot of other negative events. So similars to homosexuals many Atheists/Agnostics remain quite about thier beliefs to protect themselves or thier families.
