I disagree that atheism is not a religion. Furthermore I believe fighting the use of the establishment clause against God in the public arena requires that we start thinking of it as such.

The only way we can stop the discrimination against Christians is to use the establishment clause in a way that prevents the government from establishing atheism as the religion of the state.

We have witnessed the failure of history to justify the presence of references to God in our government. We need to turn the whole thing around on the ACLU and fight fire with fire.

As an atheist I agree that the ACLU is discriminating against Christians and recognize the fact that this country was founded by Christians. I also don't think that the influence that Christianity has had on our system is necessarly bad. However I hope Christians would appreciate my right to have no religion. Also I'm not too concerned with Under God being put in public places.
