Why did the Seventh Circut Court of Appeals declare Atheism is a religion?
According to the “Atheism and Religion” Wikipedia article… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheism_and_religion …the Kaufman decision said that for purposes of 1st Amendment protection, atheism is a form of religion. Hence federal, state and local law cannot single out atheist organizations or practices for different treatment than more mainstream theist religions. I actually think this is a good thing. Whenever someone says “Hey, we should allow prayer in [situation X]”, atheists can point out that they should be allowed to have ‘Anti-prayers’…;-D…
