They worked hard for a couple of days helping fix flood damage. One of her friends had atheist bling on his car (atheist fish and some bumper sticker or another), which got it vandalized in a parking lot, damaging the bling and slashing his tires.
I've never had my property vandalized, but a long time a go working pizza delivery, some guy saw my atheist bumper sticker and called my workplace and tried to have me fired, because his son saw it while driving behind me. When I got back from that delivery my manager told me. I asked him what he said to that guy, and my manager rightfully said, "It is your vehicle, as long as it isn't profane you can display whatever you want."
Another time in that same town, same vehicle, I went to a laundromat to do my cloths, a black guy saw that same bumper sticker and started shouting "WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE, WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE". I calmly walked up to him and asked "Would you like to know why?" and he simply kept on shouting. There was no reasoning with that guy, so I simply walked away.
But over the years I've read plenty of accounts of vandalism and worse. I remember years ago a story about an atheist family being kicked out of their apartment when their landlord found out. Another story where an atheist teacher was fired and their family basically had to flee the town because of all the threats.
The ignorance of these people is astounding on top of being hypocritical. If these same people lived in places like Saudi Arabia or Iran, they could not easily promote Jesus over Allah and would risk vandalism, violence and even arrest by the government.
