In my 56 years living here I have never been subject to any fear, or retribution for being an agnostic turned atheist. This type of stuff does happen, not in major metropolitan areas but in the smaller rural communities and I don't believe it's very widespread at that. I also think that is an attitude that was more prevalent a few decades ago before women's liberation changed the work force and standard family unit.
EDIT: This just in from the religion of peace.
