@RobL
That’s kind of what I’m worried about. I’m still in my “serious doubts” phase, but my kids are in Catholic school, and my wife is pretty involved. I have to try not to have my kid’s first communion be… awkward…

I’d invite the parents and their priest over for dinner and have The Good Atheists (Ryan Harkness and Jacob Fortin) arrive after them.

Dinner would be a Pot Roast on a Friday night.

And if the Priest decided to go ahead ask for grace, we’d “politely” point out the hypocrisy and enjoy our wonderful meal without them.

Of Course, I’d offer to make them a frozen microwave cheese pizza since it is my parents.

“To survive until we’re rescued, we’re going to have to kill and eat one of us. Otherwise, none of us will make it. Who should it be? Let’s all pray to God to give us a sign pointing us to the answer.”
“OK.”
“OK.”
“OK.”
“OK.”
“Wait a minute, . . .”

worst way to ‘come out’ as an atheist:

you earn a worldwide reputation as being the closest thing to an angel on earth, win the Nobel Peace Prize for your humanitarian/missionary work, die a saint and a martyr……then Christopher Hitchens writes a book about you

Eating a baby… probably not the best way to come out as an atheist.

During your Hindu Wedding ceremony- while the gods are being propitiated etc- carryiing on your own commentary in English to the significant other how stupid it all is- but hey we will get the certificate and be “legally married”.

I did not do it quite then, but immediately after- with a well, but this stuff is so exotic, weven if like me, you do not believe it.

At your confirmation, the priest says “Will all the parents of the newly confirmed please come forward”, as they get up you say “not so fast mom”.
