No, never. But then I'm English and it's pretty much the norm where I live.

Yes but rarely. I usually don't talk about my atheism and me and my friends rarely care about god. I wouldn't say I ever was harassed, but more likely criticized, recently a girlfriend of a male friend of mine questioned me about why would I be an atheist... I don't go out with 'I am atheist' T shirt so there's no reason for people to harass me.

well the last message i got was saying i have no morals because i don't believe in god..
and that because i am 30 and my Girlfriend is 19 that makes me "Like a pedo"
the exact quote was:

"your a nasty 30 year old man dating some commie 19 year old asian... Woody allen much? You can diggle little commies because you're a godless atheist fool... you're like a pedo"

If were you live being 19 is adult then it's ok, she must have reasons to like you... I have a nice reply for that problem - If the only reason you don't commit crimes is because of god, you're the one having a problem.

Sort of. Not so much for being an atheist, but I've been harassed by Catholics for not being a practicing Catholic, and by Protestants for being perceived to be a Catholic.

Prime example: I had to buy a home in Belfast through a proxy, since my real-life name sounds very Irish, and therefore very Catholic. The estate agents had been instructed to NOT sell to Catholics. This is the sort of religious discrimination that is expressly illegal, but goes on with a wink and a nod, just the same.

Other examples: I've had windows broken, a motorcycle vandalized, denied employment, that sort of thing.

Typical religious people, everyone who thinks differently sucks

I don't mind people thinking I suck because I think differently than they do. I'm just glad I live in a place (now) were you don't risk being killed - for religious reasons - for walking on the wrong street.

But they take it to acts, that's when it becomes a problem

No argument.
