I wish it was Discovery Institute building.Undoubtedly, at least one atheist has crashed at least one plane into at least one building.

Nah, that'd just encourage them.
My father attends church weekly (though he doesn't concern himself much with which Protestant sect the church might be). He knows we don't attend church regularly, and occasionally hints that we should do so (or expresses his disappointment that we don't). My mother attended Catholic mass weekly prior to her passing two decades ago. I don't get into theological discussions with anyone in my family - I let my wife (an evangelical Christian) do it, and nod sagely where appropriate. But as to the various perverted stuff? Does saying "we were out late at a party last night" instead of "we were at a play party at a friend's house, where I tied up my wife and beat her, everyone had a great time" count as pretending to be something we're not?
No, they don't need to know details.
If asked directly whether you believe in God or not, how would you answer?

Oh come on now, comparing atheism to BDSM is ridiculous.
I love the people who I love for who they are - and not just because they happen to be related to me.
If someone loves a mask I wear instead of loving the real me - what's the point of having 'loved ones' in the first place?
Sure, there are things that are private and that you keep to yourself - such as my balloon fetish. Nobody needs to know about that! But philosophical views regarding the nature of reality? What is this, grade 4?
Hmmm... If it was one of my more faithful aunts, I'd say I do. If it was my sister or one of my less blatantly faithful cousins, I'd say I don't. If it was my dad, I abstain because I'm really not sure.
Admittedly, that influences people more than it should. I have seen people use emotional blackmail even to keep people from leaving their own sect - "if you leave our church for another, I will stop loving you" or "you were born Religion X, you have to stay that way forever" - and sometimes it works.
Then it should be done repeatedly. Just look how much respect Muslims enjoy because everyone is afraid of criticizing them. Even though everybody knows 'these were bad Muslims', and `true' Muslims, that are the vast majority, are not like them.

I mean, it would garner sympathy for DI, not atheists.
I don't know, I am beginning to doubt whether "true" anything exists. There are no true Muslims, no true atheists, I hope at least the acolytes of Cthulhu are sincere!

It's a shame, eh?
IMO, the more people go against the grain and express their true views, the less a problem this will be in the future.
Honesty > Comfort
Indeed - if someone isn't mature enough to make an informed decision on religion, I'm not sure how the conclusion is that they must be religious! I would say the opposite. Babies aren't born religious.

SMITE THEM EVIL ATHEISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, right.
Even the great atheist prophet Dawkins now is all but a hypocrite. For singing Christmas carols, no less.

He sure does.
God bless Richard Dawkins for not being uppity about that most pagan of festivals! All hail Ishtar, Sol Invictus and Mithras. Merry Winter Solstice!
