Secondly a phobia is an illogical fear of something. As an atheist I realise that if I didn't live in my country (Australia) I would be persecuted for it most likely. I will criticise all religious people who have designs for bringing more religion into the government. I fear any such move, but its a rational fear, not an irrational one.

I am an atheist, and if you think you can only live in Australia as an atheist, you have a phobia. Just so you know :)

"Most likely". Considering the great number of countries in the world where I would be persecuted. I don't think thats a phobia. Sure if I was born in the west, or in many parts of asia then yes I wouldn't have any trouble. But if I was born in Somalia then I'd be having a bit of trouble at the moment. Or if I was born in any other century. I certainly do not have a phobia in regards to being persecuted for my position on religion because I've never been persecuted. But you'd be stupid to not resist any move towards theocracy and sectarianism. But of course, none of this really has anything to do with this thread.
