I didn't know that. Bummer. I disagree with the ruling on ground of contradictory definitions. It's one thing to uphold freedom of speech about religion, it's another thing to define the rejection of religion as a religion. The first is protected speech, the second is an oxymoron applicable solely to the incorporation of religions. If you want to make a corporation that stands for an attitude towards God, and if you define a religion as a corporation that has an attitude towards God, then I suppose you could allow a corporation that has an attitude towards God of rejecting God. But even for the Twilight Zone world of corporate defintions, this still breaks the logic bank, IMHO.
For the discussion, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Atheism is a religion: Kaufman v. McCaughtry

Well, I don’t care what they think or ruled. They are wrong, and that’s a fact!
Thank you for sharing your insights, dear Talisker! The decision was quite shocking.
