I dont think it is socialy acceptable.
It is simply convinient for people how promote an agenda which has opponents, to label that opponent with non to flattering collours for the purpose of disinfrangement. This has always and will alway be done with deliberate ignorance for the truth of the matter.
Not just simply with atheism. Just look arround and observe any political campain anywhere, or read a tabloid which has an agenda against certain people.
