The Last Taboo: coming out as an atheist politician in USA

I teach math and science in a public high school. I am a little wary about sharing my atheism in my small community. I know there are some parents and community members who would no longer trust me as an educator if I openly spoke about it.

I don't want to make any specific public statements about atheism, it's just something I don't speak about very often. I also think one of the best approaches in this direction is to give everyone a stronger background in science, so that's where I put my energy for now.

I would love to see a significant rise in atheism during my lifetime.
