Where in the hell do you live?

Rural or urban? Have you tried saying, "I'm not religious", there is a lot of fear mongering around the word "atheist.". I only occasionally get a negative response from saying "I'm not religious", but more frequently get a negative response when I used to say "I'm atheist". However, it's easy to say nothing about religion in Minnesota, I find most people avoid uncomfortable topics here.

I've lived in both rural and urban. Rural was worse by far (I don't think that will surprise anyone). In the rural areas is where the stalking was the absolute worst. When I was a kid, I'd have strange men stop their cars and walk up to me, stop me from whatever I was doing and just demand to pray with me... then they'd leave. When I got older, a guy from a local church was stalking me at work and at my apartment.

In the metro, I've only had two show up that I know of (before the 'answering the door procedure' was put into effect).

When I just go with "I'm not religious" I've gotten mixed results, but yeah I've tried. I still try to avoid bringing it up unless directly asked

Meh once you get out of camberville it's not hard to find trump stickers and conservatives. I personally don't really travel west of Springfield (or Worcester really) but I'm sure it gets worse
