in their own minds. Most of them will, sooner or later, have the nerve to admit that they are atheists. That is not an easy leap to make, and it should come when they are comfortable with it. I believe that the more people who are willing to declare that they are atheists, the more of the people on the edge will also admit it.

BTW, welcome to DU and A&A.
