The main problem faced by atheists is the discrimination brought about by the mischaracterization of atheists and misconceptions about atheism promulgated from the pulpits of many religious groups. Believers are extremely uncomfortable with those who choose not to believe in the supernatural. Misconceptions have been spread from the pulpit for centuries that atheists have no morals and values, they deny religion so they can all be libertines and do as they please, and that they are all doomed to spend eternity in hell. Religion was born out of fear of the unknown and religionists fear those who don't share that fear. Moral behavior and values can be adopted without religion. They benefit the human community and don't need religion to teach nor prove their value. There are good and bad people in every group of humans, both believers and non-believers.

The popular theist belief that atheists as group wander around going "There is no god, and I think that because..." or "I will keep thinking up reasons why there is no god because I'm afraid there is!". Most atheists spend no more time thinking about god and how to disprove its existence than the average adult spends on trying to disprove, debunk or disparage the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, or the monster under the bed.This is not to say that some atheists, like may evangelists and theologians, make their living writing and speaking on the issue. These are the exception not the rule.
