Yes, it's a real problem here in Europe, because we're so close to many Islamic countries where extreme forms of the religion flourish. Four men recently beat a teacher to death for his state school teachings of Islam, which they considered to be blasphemous. Mind you, this is rare, and 95% of Muslims here abhor that sort of behavior, but combine some post-colonial politics with an unquestionable god, and, of course, a holy text with multiple readings, and you're going to get trouble.
My day-to-day problems are considerably less severe. Mainly, I get people who condescendingly tell me my life is empty, I don't understand their "true" religious principles, that life sucks for the un-churched, that I offend them by being an atheist, etc etc. They need to lay off.
