So any room without a religous monument in it is an atheist room? An atheist isn't just somebody who stays mum on the issue, an atheist doesn't believe in God. If the government where officially atheist you might see things like "There is no God" or at least "We don't have any evidence that God exists" inscribed on courthouse walls.

Actually, what you'd be looking for is a government trying to excise others free expression. You have that in the Alabama courthouse and elsewhere.

To force change where others have freely expressed their religion is to support an atheistic expression.

For example, if there are displays at schools of various kinds, and one of them is religious, then for you to kick out only the religious display is a demonstration of active atheism.
