I just left a place of employment where my open atheism was a real problem. My immediate manager was a bit of a fundy simpleton that I have good reason to believe the very notion of atheism scared the crap out of, much less working within close proximity of one every day.

I have learned from this. I never say where I'm at on religion at my current workplace but do get a kick out of throwing around a bible quote or two when it's needed to counter some ridiculous statement or other by a believer. I'm sure they have inferred I am a believer too.
