I'm not so sure about that nowadays. Maybe in certain areas within the bible belt, but I don't think the "real world", from personal experience, really finds it offensive to denounce faith. There are a lot of assumptions and unfair characterizations on both sides of the spectrum. Such as your example of Agnostics and Atheists. And I can add the example on the other end of it as well, with people of faith being weak minded and nothing but "sheep". Both sides are guilty of false characterizations.
