I suppose it is a phase everyone goes through. I went through it too, loudly proclaiming my religious beliefs to everyone who will listen. But at the end of the day... its obnoxious.
There are appropriate times and places to discuss religion, but there is really no need to broadcast your beliefs to the whole world. If you want to discuss it over coffee with close friends, sure, religion is an interesting topic. Otherwise, it's not really appropriate.
It's a bit drama queenish to sit around fantasizing about "the talk"... "Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you... I'm an atheist!!!" Do they really need a big pronouncement?
