You probably will find some people assuming you're Islamic if you're even remotely middle-eastern looking, and accusing you of lying if you say you aren't, which is pretty sad. I would hope you don't see it often though.

It's kind of funny in this context though because people do lie about supporting Patrick Thistle in order to not cause offence. And, somewhere in the root of the joke is that basically a subset of people in Glasgow literally do not believe that anyone exists who is neither Catholic nor Protestant (or else Rangers or Celtic). So the fact that he didn't believe you could legitimately have no religion is sort of... Well he played himself into the joke kind of, but probably didn't realise he did lol.
