Atheists have a big problem with PR though. I've met several 'atheist' professors that would rather call themselves agnostics to avoid the arrogant and aggressive connotations that are associated with atheism.
I'm a little surprised at the stigma produced by atheism. I never expected that when I became vocal about atheism. Then again, I wasn't hiding my atheism from crazies to begin with, I just became more interested in the topic the more crazies I met.
