I agree, most of the questions seemed to indicate that being an atheist was something to be ashamed of or could affect your standing in the community if you were to admit it. This I think is particularly an American and/or third world country thing as I could parade around Britain with my Atheist t-shirts on (which indeed I do) and no-one would take any notice and quite frankly, the idea that I could loose friends or not be able to get a job just because I was atheist seems bizarre in the extreme!
