If your neighbors and friends already know you to be a good person, and then learn you are an atheist, they will be compelled to rethink the lies they have been dictated from the pulpit about us. We are the future...we are the inevitable...and until we come out of the closet, we will be hidden.

So, I call upon those who require evidence before belief, to state as much and be heard.

There's actual Atheists, and Militant Atheists who actually are only anti-Christian anti-Jew bigots, and use the "Atheist" name as a comfortable little shield.

I am Atheist, and respect others' beliefs. I do not make fun of, or attack others' beliefs. Their beliefs do not affront me, they do not threaten me, and they do not bother me. I live and let live, and do not proselytize or condemn. And when the faithful want to post videos or music about their faith, I leave them to it. That's called, "grace" and security in my own beliefs.

Not criticizing friend, just offering food for thought. We're not at war with the faithful.
