It sure does him a favor not being homeless and all.
Hockey_ninja: I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Please heed my advice: If you are at all financially dependent on religious parents, and telling them would result in you being out on your own without the means to provide for yourself, then either start looking into
atheist havens in your area, or
keep your mouth shut until you can afford to leave.
I'm about as unabashedly an atheist as anyone here. I am all for being honest with yourself, but I am also for rational decision-making and self-preservation, and I don't think flaunting your lack of belief to someone who has the ability to make life very difficult for you in short order is a smart move.
