I have been fortunate enough that whenever I tell someone I'm an atheist, they don't bug out on me about it. I have heard some bad stories, and this is part of the reason the excuse that "religion doesn't hurt anyone" is a bad one. It tears families apart. Jesus even knew it would, and was fine with it. Preferred it, possibly. I'm not sure how a group can claim to have the moral high ground, while being willing to completely shut someone out because they're different. "Loving the sinner and hating the sin" doesn't really work out, because that would require a bit of tolerance that the bible speaks against in some places.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
