The Church should never support anything that goes against her teachings, either in law, or in principle. Just because the Church does not propose a civil law that says "you have to believe in God" does not mean that they should (or do) endorse atheism as being a good and valid alternative for some people to follow.

What the Church believes, teaches, and supports often is not reflected in what they demand be enacted in the civil law.

Do you believe what the Bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church both teach - that homosexual acts are gravely disordered and sinful, even though the Church does not propose a civil law outlawing homosexual acts? Do you believe the Church should stop opposing all such homosexual acts, just because so many people these days engage in them?

The Church also doesn’t demand that atheists are punished for their beliefs.
