Since atheists are very misunderstood we should at least understand ourselves first. A survey such as this will help achieve that goal.
I did the survey.

I took the survey but found it of little interest to me. They are after certain information yes, but the thing that stood out for me was that I feel no ongoing persecution as so many believers might tell you about.

you’re very lucky then
Most of the persecution I received was decades ago, so has stayed with me, but also taught me to avoid certain people, places and things that caused the anguish. There was ongoing persecution in my condo building that only ended 2 years ago, and so I'm thankful for that. If these results are compared to results from years ago, it might indicate an acceptance of secularism and less stigma attached. I hope that is the trend, but in some circles, it's likely gone backward.
Done it (twice, the first time something didn't work and I had to do it again).

I think , before I did anything like this , I'd want to know who is creating this sruvey (First Baptist Church ? ) , what the information is going to be used for , and is it anonymous ?

An official scientific report that will be published in the spring of 2020, on discrimination of secular and non religious persons.
Yes, it is anonymous.
That would be good to know, but who cares? If they're only nosy religious creeps then at least they might read my point of view and get a clue.
It's American Atheists, a bonafide organization. And definitely anonymous. It really is just asking how we feel we are being treated, if we identify as atheist, agnostic, non-religious, humanist, etc. I think it's just to understand the group better who have no religious affiliation.
I really had to think a bit on many of the questions, because though I've been treated poorly in the past by religious folks finding out that I'm not religious, some of the questions are narrowed down to the past 3 years, or some other designated time frame. It made me realize how far acceptance of secularism has come over the decades, since I came out long long ago!
Thanks for the link Julie. I just completed it.
