In some places they'll shoot you just for sport.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity. Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist. You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

You're white, which dramatically reduces your chances of being shot.
(BTW, I'm not being racist here, just point out the sad fact that a lot of our police use racial profiling.)

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!

Yeah, the cops are assholes here... I'm glad they don't carry guns.
I often get stopped at night and asked if they can see what is in my bag... maybe it is because I'm walking the streets at 3 in the morning. Anyway, I tell them no and explain that I don't have to, so either they follow me to wherever I am going and sit outside for a bit or they try to make up some bullshit law to try to get me to let them see what is in my bag.

It s called a "presenter".
