I guess I'll find out as I just moved to Arkansas from Kansas. I'd like to think that people wouldn't let Religion control their life, but I've had two people quit talking to me once they found out that I was an Atheist, one lived in Kansas and the other lived in Tennessee. It's very rare to find a Christian that doesn't care whether or not you believe in God.
I'm currently in GA. No one gives me a hard time. Maybe that's because I'm close to Atlanta (more progressive). Or maybe it's because I'm a biology professor and people just expect it of me anyway. Or maybe it's because I'm not "in your face" about it (but I don't hide it either).
I'm sure it is against the law for anyone who is Atheist to live close to the South let alone actually in the South. Really, I'm sure it is written somewhere.......

'Hey doods...we got ourselves a for-reel aytheist perfessor!'
I am an atheist who currently lives outside of Charlotte, NC. I have not had trouble but I don't around shouting that I am an atheist. I have heard that people will ask what church you go to but that has not happened to me.
Regardless of the state, you will probably find more non-believers in major metro areas as opposed to rural/small town areas.
