    I contest the generalization that people assume atheists are antitheists, but that’s gonna vary a lot by how religious a region is

    I live in the southern USA; can’t drive 5 minutes without seeing a church or two. I have on several occasions met individuals who, upon learning I was an atheist, either assumed I believed there was no god, or that I actively worshipped satan, lol. Most people around here are pretty religious so my experience is definitely skewed by that factor.

      Fair. I’m in the midwest and we have our crazy, but nothing like that. I’ve found that, outside the nutters, it’s more live and let live.
