The establishment clause not only prohibits governments from directly establishing a religion, but also prohibits them from favoring one religion over another or religion over nonreligion. In other words, governments
must treat atheism like a religion for purposes of the First Amendment.
For the hardcore atheists out there that must really chap their ass.

You are joking right? The hardcore atheists 'feel' oppressed if they even see someone praying before their meal in a restaurant. They were the shining example that taught the 'woke' how to 'feel' offended by [insert dumbass reason here].

Must treat it LIKE a religion for the sake of the 1st Amendment. Doesn't mean it IS a religion. Shit, even if the law said it was, it doesn't mean it is.
This is a good thing for us, you know lol.

Exactly.
It would be a head scratcher if it was anyone with a few IQ points as opposed to Scum Venom who has a negative number of IQ points.

The ones who crow about freedom the most are the ones who want freedom the least.
"How dare one expresses themselves during the Natl' Anthem by taking a knee!"
"A woman's body is not her own! They belong to all men everywhere!"
Etc etc.

first amendment is ridic simple: it 100% forecloses congress from any interference in any and all things religious. why should this bother "atheists", and the concept of atheism? since congress can not compel any form of worship, no atheist can be coerced into worshipping something/one not personally accepted by the person.
atheism doesnt have any "spiritual" leader(s) or rites or practices, so how can you say it's a "religion"? what is atheism's canonical text? is negating a belief the same as asserting its very denial, which then becomes a "religion"? i think this is what religious types advance: by simply affirming status as an atheist that action is equivalent to a religious affiliation: catholic, jewish, etc. i disagree.
i'm an atheist because I reject any revealed religion. but i'm open to accepting the norse/greek/roman gods, simply because those deities better represent the hell on earth which humans suffer through. so i guess i'm a Pagantheist.
