It becomes part of their family and their social self - I find that the hardest part of being a non-believer is the shunning that happens when people find out. The feeling is always below the surface because it's hard to know how people will react. Some come right out and push you away while others just drop you from their list.

I suspect the nutty rev. phelps doesn't bother with atheist because most of the country is thinking the same way he is.
