Atheists say they've been threatened over their views.

(I do not hesitate to tell anyone that I am an Atheist and I find that their delusion is a cancer to society. A planet, populated by delusional beings is NOT A GOOD THING. I also have several bumper stickers that I have attached to magnetic stripping, which I change all the time; such stickers as "GOD IS JUST PRETEND", "JESUS CHRIST SUPER FRAUD", "THE BIBLE: A GRIM FAIRY TALE", "ATHEISM CURES RELIGIOUS TERRORISM", "FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT YOU KNOW ISNT SO." "He's Your god their and a few others...This Country is NOT a Theocracy (never will be), so those fundi assholes will just have to get over it!"

Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The note on Blair Scott's windshield wasn't a nice one.

The anonymous writer had to have seen Scott's atheist-themed bumper sticker, an uncommon sight in the small south Alabama town where he lived at the time.

"It just amazed me that people would take time out of their day to return to their car, grab a pen and paper and write a 'You're going to hell and you're going to burn in a lake of fire,' and stick it under my windshield," said Scott, a 36-year-old veteran who installs computer systems in prisons.

Outspoken atheists like Scott remain a minority, but there are dozens of atheist chapters sprouting up around the country, and even many in Southern states dominated by conservative Christians.

Many who consider themselves atheists said they're afraid to mention their views on religion or that they don't believe in deities. It's an especially unpopular opinion in the South, they said.
