Exactly. I'm in Indiana, so I'm definitely the minority. But.. I don't mind.

Our basic freedoms are not going any where soon. that being said, that doesn't stop the people from being biased.

You're still free to be an atheist here in the US.

In fact, even if you get stuck in a scary religious part of the US, I bet a lot of the religious nuts would see it as a good thing that you've renounced Islam, even if you haven't taken up their version of the god delusion to replace it. "I've renounced Islam and escaped to America!" - that should sound good to a redneck.

The good news is that the best parts of the US (for jobs, culture, fun) are often also the least religious. Who the hell wants to live in Mississippi anyway? (Sorry to anybody who loves Mississippi.)

Even in my tiny redneck town I know other atheists. And even if I didn't, I am free to be an atheist without persecution if I want to.

I've lived in several cities in Oregon and my boyfriend who is also an open atheist lived in Washington for msot of his life. Neither on of us have ever dealt with discrimination due to our atheism. Neither one of us have ever been in a position where revealing our atheism put us in any danger. About the worst anyone does here is give you a funny look or try to give you reasons why you should believe in god or they say I'll pray for you.
