It's not usually a topic that comes up with many of my friends but most know or I'm sure would not be surprised.
My mother only just recently came to the realization that I don't believe in God the way she does.
We live in Mass. and I was talking about the same sex marriage thing and along the way she said something like "You're not an atheist."
I said, "Well, if I explained to you what I believe I'm sure you'd consider me an atheist." Yes I hedged it a bit with language so maybe she's not sure, and in fact I'm not sure atheist is the best label for me either but so far it's the best I have.
There hasn't been much fallout. Seems to have become by unspoken agreement something that's no longer talked about.
