Ever experienced bigotry from the religious for being atheist?

RE: Ever experienced bigotry from the religious for being atheist?
I went to a catholic school and we had compulsory religion classes. It came up that I didn't believe in catholicism and my teacher subjected me to a look and a sniff. Very quickly, two other guys in the class rallied in support of me and between the three of us we schooled the rest of the class and the fucking teacher about the lunacy of catholic beliefs. The teacher never had a whole lot of time for me after that.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.
