How should an atheist react to discrimination?

RE: How should an atheist react to discrimination?
Realistically, in a country in which atheism is illegal? Lie my tits off of course.

I will deliberately give a false impression that I'm a believe whenever it seems like a good idea. Not willing to die or even be punished for a belief/ lack of belief or for an idea. Fortunately, a rare occurrence in OZ. What can I say, I'm self centred and weak.

A question; In the US does there seem to be a correlation between between fundamentalist knuckle draggers and people who fly the flag in their yard? In Oz, patriotism is simply assumed. I tend to look with suspicion with people who fly the flag in their yard. Slightly more acceptable to fly a flag on one's car on Australia Day. I guess I relate flag waving to jingoism. I'm aware this may be an unjustified prejudice on my part.

IDK, but I wouldn't mind a full size official use flag in my yard.  There are flags on my boots, too.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
