Atheism IS a religion. It is a belief system about God, holding the position that there isn’t one. It is a far end of the spectrum. As such, the demand that all things God be purged from the public arena is in fact a demand for State sponsorship of their religion. Eventually the court will come to recognize their role in the defacto establishment of this religion and take steps to stop the State support of the religion of Atheism.

Any belief for or against God, is a religion?

Only if you can convince the court that YOUR definition of religion is correct.

I recall that these Humanist organizations and Ethical Societies (both basically atheist) are treated more or less as “churches” being tax-exempt and having officials who can perform marriages and funerals. Basically they’re already churches with God subtracted. Sounds like a religion to me.
