who ever these people are are stupid. they are for one going against their religion by mentally assaulting you, to be honest, what they are trying to do is force you to go against your opinion, which is a volition of your right. tell the teachers. i know they may not like you, but they have to listen to you, as its their job. don't stand up for it. if they continue, tell me, and I could probably come up with some arguments to make them shut their mouth.

It's very common to be bullied for your beliefs, but it's not 'normal'. It should never be deemed normal for such behavior. You need to get someone of authority involved. You need to be blunt about it. I'm not saying it's easy, I'm saying it's necessary. The bullying will get worse whether or not you say something, but it will stop sooner and better if you have someone backing you. If nobody will listen, you have to make them. Record these people on a phone and turn it over to the police, call these teachers out for their discrimination, etc. If it's already you against them, even if you can't defeat this, don't let them go without consequence.

it's ufortunatly common in some parts of the world, you should talk to you parents about it, if they are strong theists then you must be careful on how you tell them that you are an atheist, if you think they won't be too unhappy. but you still should tell them that you are being bullied.
(I haven't officially told my parents but i think they allready know. I have told my broters because they share the same beliefs as me.) so if not your parents some other famely member or friend. your school shood help if you ask.
either way there are lots of websites that can help too.
if things get out of hand (like them showing up at you house again) then you should call the police, calling some one offensive names, threatening (like saing you should die) can be charged with hate-crime. no matter what people bully you about don't let that change you, don't let them force you into chaging your beliefs.

Beat the crap out of these idiots
I'm pretty religious and it pisses me off that u get picked on cuz youre atheist

Its common but very wrong. You should tell your parents and they should talk to the principal at your school. I'm sorry you're going through this, just be strong and don't let them get the best of you. Rise above their petty actions and hurtful words the best you can. Good luck.

Listen, if these girls are following you to your home...you are in danger and need to do something.

Haha trust me. Your teachers and school have to care if you tell them. If they ignore it, and get beat up...they are liable.

Sorry you are having a rough time. Seems like such a dumb ass thing to beef over.

Well nazis were Christians but anyway.....Oh and no one had even heard of atheists till a few years ago, this fad of everyone saying im an atheist is soooooo gay. You say it like it's different to be an atheist, it's not as there are more atheists in the world than anyone else. It's so dumb to treat it like some religion you're part of when your just another person who doesn't believe in god lol.
