Distrust from the devout until you remind them of police
From the Conversation:
But despite their much-better-than-average behaviour, atheists continue to suffer the widespread distrust of the devout. Those who believe an ever-vigilant deity keeps tabs on and judges their deeds have trouble comprehending how anyone can be “good without god” (as the Sydney Atheists‘ motto goes).
It seems they almost think that if you don't believe in a supernatural policeman, then you are exempt from consequences from your actions, until you remind them that we are all subject to a rule of law policed by police and judged in the courts.

Atheists meet to discuss faith, or lack of it
16 Apr 2012 By Clare Atkinson
Many of the world's best-known atheists have met in Melbourne to discuss faith, or the lack thereof.
Thousands of people came to hear the likes of Richard Dawkins speak out against religions of all kinds.
As Clare Atkinson reports, speakers used both science and comedy to argue the case for non-belief.
