I have done an interview with a local newspaper, and I had quite a few threats of violence. Some even went so far as to track my address down and send me letters telling me not to raise my children anything other than christian and such
That's real bad. Talk about intolerance. Over here it's near opposite. Most theists wouldn't give a fuck. Also that most people either believe in god and don't care or are atheist. Move over here buddy!

A majority of people I've met are atheists, including all the people I've worked with. Got a lot of freedom from religion, Sweden has more though.

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.
