You must not know the history of education in this country. Public schools were started by religious groups as were most colleges. My parents' generation grew up learning the Bible in public schools. Atheists have changed that. The "people" haven't.

Did they? How old are your parents, or how old would they be. I went to school in the 1950's, and there was never a mention of any religious teachings in my schools. I'm now old enough to be a grandparent.

I asked my parents about religion in school when they were in school. They said there was no such. They are in their 80s now.

So, identify the period when your parents were in school, and in what part of the country, please.

Atheists make up, maybe, 5% of the population of this nation. Christians make up, probably 75% or so. How do you suppose that atheists have forced their lack of belief on a nation with that heavy a majority of religious folk?
