Welcome. I'm a bit luckier than you in terms of attitude anyways, in that the only time I got stick for my atheism was when I got done on April Fool's Day.
But yeah, less about me, hope you enjoy your time here.

Welcome to the group.
I feel like that. too. We're in a small town in the middle of Trump country. This is one sane place you can go to discuss your lack of belief and your frustrations.
“The problem with those who choose received Authority over fact and logic is how they choose which part of Authority to obey. The Bible famously contradicts itself at many points (I have never understood why any Christian would choose the Old Testament over the New), and the Koran can be read as a wonderfully compassionate and humanistic document. Which suggests that the problem of fundamentalism lies not with authority, but with ourselves.” ~Molly Ivins
