Subject: Re: Not that again

But, I am open about being atheist.

I'm not open about being an atheist or a liberal at work due to experience. People in the sciences are more likely to not believe in God, where I was, the religionists that subscribe to perpetual persecution are present, and you want to stay on everyone's good side. So avoiding the conversation, giving neutral answers is the best way to handle it. I told a few work friends that became friends after work too, but they knew better than to mention it. Work environments differ.
