Actually, I am moving to a very religous town, where about 95% of the population goes to church. If you're an atheist there, they might burn you at the stake.
About the theists being "preachy," I have an example. There was a kid at my (public) junior high who was this religous FANATIC. He went from place to place, participating in bible trivia tournaments. I'm 100% serious. We were playing dodgeball in gym, and he stood aside, RECITING BIBLE VERSES TO HIMSELF. Anyway, I told him about my atheism, and he was shocked. Every day, he would try to convert me, using all the, "how did the big bang form?" and every other cliched question there is. I responded with my own. He finally gave up, after I just told him to respect my beliefs, as I respected his. So, my point is, I'm not ASSUMING a theist would try to convert me. I know from experience.
