I spent four months doing a road trip in America last year, mostly through the Bible belt (Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Lousiana, Kansas, Texas) - I met more atheists and agnostics than I expected to, but plenty of very devout young Christians. I have a few of them on Facebook and they quite routinely invoke the name of God, post Bible verses and so on. I might start responding with some verses from Leviticus and Deuteronomy, see how that goes down.
A homeless guy in New Orleans came up to me and my friends as we were sat outside a coffee shop and his opening gambit was 'I'm a Christian. Could you spare some change for a Christian?'...every part of me wanted to respond 'I'm an atheist, fuck off'. But of course that would be rude, so I just said no.
