It's not the atheists
or theists I necessarily have to worry about, but whether I am obedient to God's Biblical Word, and whether I use my life to fulfill God's command that I help my fellow man to hear the Gospel [good news] of Jesus Christ.
That's the one and only filter through which all doctrinal questions must pass.
I fear none in this world, and neither should you or anyone else.

I'm not referring to your personal belief or salvation. That is your prerogative that no one should question your right to have. I'm referring to the civil unrest and challenges that can arise due to government endorsement of one religion, or even one sect within a religion.
