Maybe after a long time. But in the short term, we are viewed as satan worshippers.
Maybe I was overly affected by the court case of the torture and killing Kristy Bamu in 2010 by the batshit crazy fundamentalist who thought he was a demon possessed witch (4 days of torture, maiming, and eventually murder).
While not directly related to most fundamentalism, I sometimes worry that with fundamentalists getting more and more batshit crazy by the second, promoting this view as a joke, will get taken seriously, and people who are brave enough to declare they no longer believe could be seriously harmed in the name of our "little joke".
Potentially I worry too much.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
