Like Christians are going to treat you fairly if you avoid doing certain things. Sounds like you're surrendering some of your autonomy and freedom to avoid false persecution, when doing so won't actually save you from false persecution after all. Standing up to them tends to be more effective than trying to avoid coming up on their radar.
LOL, I have no problem standing up to them. I just prefer to give them less ammunition, and the "atheism is just another religion" meme is particularly grating.
Most religious folk have a hard enough time understanding atheism as something other than a rejection of a god as it is. Throw a "church" into the mix, and it makes the concept even more obscure.
