You rephrase my original thesis, more or less: atheists have no ability and possibly less need to glorify their worldview and the little need that they have is in the bumper sticker domain. When they get too obnoxious, force would be justified to enforce public decency.

Boy, I was with you right there until your last sentence... but I believe we have the right to be obnoxious in this country, even if it is a right I rarely exercise (although some might disagree with me on that!).

right to be obnoxious in this country

This is a common misunderstanding of the First Amendment. Rather than getting theoretical over it, let me remind you that public decency laws were upheld till very recently in this country by judges that understood the Constitution far better than the current bunch.
