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. Its a wholly rational fear to fear any more towards sectarianism when you're an infidel.

Oh yea, there are many many countries you don't want to live in, but I would think NZ, US, and all of Europe you would be fine. You did say " if I didn't live in my country I would be persecuted for it most likely".

This implies to me that you think in any country that's not your country, you would most likely be persecuted. At least that's how I read it.
