Not really and not at all for a long time. I tend to associate with smarter people than jesus freaks.

I live in SC, so somewhat. Advertising it isn't safe, I've had friends with atheist decals on their car have them vandalized. I've had repercussions at work, more from people who report to me than people I report to. The idea of being managed by an atheist is very shocking to some people. Not that it's a topic to bring up at work, but I have a tendency to blurt out the truth when asked a direct question, when reflection tells me I should have said it's not something I want to discuss at work. The conversation, as best as I can recollect it:

Her: What church do you go to?
Me: I don't go to church.
Her: But what religion do you belong to?
Me: I'm not very religious.
Her: But you believe in God, don't you?
Me: No.
Her: You mean you're an atheist?
Me: Yes.
Her: But you seem so nice!

I felt marginalized when I lived in the Bible-Belt, but not so much since I moved. I'm still sore about it though, which sometimes causes me to react to things that aren't necessarily marginalizing, but I perceive them as such due to my prior experiences.

Not particularly. Atheism is fairly common here in London, and the majority of theists don't really care much about whether or not God actually exists.

Oh definitely. I grew up in East Tennessee. If it wasn't my grandparents or parents, it would be friends or strangers. My mom still says I'm going through a phase. I'm thirty six years old, ferchrissakes!

I must confess that, after one of my atheist book clubs read a book about the shift in marketing of Christianity from traditional churches to mega churches, I had some concerns. I wanted to attend a mega church to see what it was like. Who knows, I might even like it. (I used to go to a Unitarian church, but I just couldn't hang with getting up early on Sundays. Mega churches are different, and often have evening services and services during the week.) So anyway, I wanted to check them out. But at the time, I had several good-sized, colorful stickers of the goddess Kali in the windows of my car, and I was afraid that if I parked it near a mega church, some cloven hooved redneck would take me for a devil worshipper and smash my window or something. So I never did go. Some of my atheist friends thought I was being paranoid, but I think better safe than sorry.
