Hello Kiki!
Welcome to Af.org! I hope you find some relief here.
I am in the Buckle of the Bible Belt here in Middle TN, and I feel your pain. People just automatically assume that everyone thinks the same way you do. They don't really know what an atheist is, most really just know what they know from the dolt on the dais on Sunday.
For what it's worth, I do think everyone should be exposed to religion, from a neutral standpoint.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
