Are there any atheists on here who are still in the closet about it?

I wish I could just forget the whole topic and say there is no reason to discuss my personal beliefs with others. However, my personal non-atheistic beliefs have been a huge topic with my family and other associates for many years and I was associated with those beliefs as a major part of who I am in my world. Now being an atheist I don't think I can just stop talking about religion but I'm not ready to come out with it yet (I don't mean homosexuality, just atheism; I'm hetero). Anyone have a similar situation or even words of encouragement?
