Arguing over who proselytizes more is like arguing over who likes food more. It's human nature, people. I find the methods that both radical Christians and radical athiests employ equally distasteful.

I'm agnostic, lived here my entire life. No problems, some judgement perhaps, but no burning crosses or what not. That would be in the metros, small town Texas is a different story, can be lots of judgement there. The exception being some small towns in central Texas; Wimberley, Fredericksburg, etc.

This is a little off topic, but I find when people make a point to tell me how Christian they are, watch your wallet and watch your back. The real Christians don't feel the need to advertise themselves constantly and to judge.

I could care less about someone's religious beliefs.

How can you say such nice things about Texas regarding tolerance of atheists, where the state constitution professes no discrimination in pursuing political office, as long as one acknowledges the existence of a supreme being?

This country was founded on religion. You can walk around with a chip on your shoulder if you choose but religion on this planet dates back thousands of years and Texas is no exception to religious back grounds.
