Have you come out about your faith to your friends or family? If so, how did it go? Do you plan to come out or to keep it secret, if you have not yet come out about it?

I came out to my parents as a Satanist, oh, about a decade ago? They're conservative Christians, and I was sick of them constantly proselytizing to me. They've finally mostly quit.

    Glad they've stopped proselytising. I'm curious to hear their reactions 😂

    It was a long argument about symbolism, and why Satan was the symbol that was used. My mom in particular had a hard time wrapping her head around the idea that god was actually the asshole of the bible, and that Satan acted in a largely humanist way. She also had a hard time accepting that Satan was purely symbolic, because she sees an adversarial figure as real.
