The Government needs to stop messing around with our 'beliefs' or non-'beliefs' too. Our currency, our prayers in school, all that hubbub is so useless and unnecessary. I agree that the man who says he is an atheist has the right to be so. He even has the right
Our imperial government claims that "atheism" is a religion, and by governmental/court actions, has upheld the "rights" of these groups to promote and expand their "beliefs". This has the full appearance of the government actually going against the 1st Amendment by promoting one religious belief over other religious beliefs.

The following is a collective excerpt from court cases and doctrines of our nation's Founders.


"Establishment of Religion
“[F]or the men who wrote the Religion Clauses of the First Amendment the ‘establishment’ of a religion connoted sponsorship, financial support, and active involvement of the sovereign in religious activity.”41 However, the Court’s reading of the clause has never resulted in the barring of all assistance which aids, however incidentally, a religious institution. Outside this area, the decisions generally have more rigorously prohibited what may be deemed governmental promotion of religious doctrine."
