If I lived somewhere where atheists were mistrusted, I like to think I would carry some kind of identifier, probably a button with a positive message that wasn't hostile or condescending towards theists like many atheist messages I've seen on Cafepress. I appreciate the frustration and desire for retaliation atheists in many countries must feel but personally I would remember that most theists are well-meaning, and avoid alienating the more open-minded ones with provocative anti-theist statements. I'd go for something like 'atheists for peace' or 'proud to be a kind, compassionate atheist' or 'Good without God' .
I do have a few positive statements of atheism among my provocative ones. One says "Friendly Neighborhood Atheist."
