"Coming Out Atheist"

"Coming out atheist" refers to the act of openly sharing one's lack of belief in a deity or deities, especially when previously they may have concealed or kept private their atheism. It is similar to coming out about other personal beliefs or aspects of identity, often motivated by a desire for authenticity, to foster honest relationships, or to challenge societal or religious stigmas. This process can involve conversations with friends, family, or in public forums, and aims to promote acceptance and understanding of secular viewpoints.
