As are atheist views. The stories I hear about your land of the free, (about which I keep an open mind and do not trust generally) are chilling. Atheists discriminated against in employment, atheists scared to admit their lack of faith for fear of physical reprisal, etc. We're all angry loud mouths according to this thread* because we dare to question someone elses faith when it is presented to us. How very dare we indeed. Sticks and stones anyone? Maybe I should delineate between ridicule that someone does for immature childish laughs and genuine ridicule that is an involuntary reaction to ridiculous behaviour.

I don't know where you got this impression from. In my years, of which there are getting to be many, I have not witnessed anyone discriminating against any Atheists or one that participates in a religious belief specifically concerning employment. In fact, religious affiliation or not is generally never in question unless you are going for a job in clergy!
There is an old saying, "If you want to stay friends do not talk about religion and politics." This old saying rings true today.
