Being an Atheist, Update from "You're an Atheist Now What"

This is an update about being an atheist 1 yr in total.  Thanks to all who submitted questions and comments and continued the discussion beyond the Podcast! It is truly an amazing experience to see more discussion come about on such a difficult topic. And thanks to all my supporters to whom I would feel lost without! How do you explain your atheism to friends and family? How do you explain it to children? Can you talk about it at work? Has it changed daily routines? If family or friends are flaunting religion, how do you react? What if they are completely different behind closed doors, away from the social scene? How did family react to you coming out about it? What choices did you make with God as a consideration vs now not having that authority to rely on? Does it burst everyone’s bubble when you talk about your atheism? Isn’t atheism a religion? You must be an evolutionist and that takes a significant amount of faith. This question submitted by someone named mom wants to know, Is your life any better? And don’t you think it’s a coincidence that you were baptized around this same time.
