Can we "save the world"?

[MrAtheist]

Hello everyone! My first post here on atheist forums and hopefully the first of many. The subject of this thread is can we "save the world"? Now when I say this many people might misinterpret this many different ways, so let me explain. When I say "save the world" I don't mean donning tights and masks and fighting the seedy criminal underworld. No, this is more can we "save" the world from such things like religion? We as Atheists have rights to live life as we see fit. Whether it's in America or Japan or Antarctica, we all have rights, just like everyone else. In America the first amendment states "Congress shall make no laws respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;". So why is it that, for example, the Mississippi State Constitution. Article 14 states "No person who denies the existence of a Supreme Being shall hold any office in this state."? The states of Arkansas, Maryland, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas have some section in their state constitutions stating people without belief in a "Supreme Being" cannot hold office within those states? Here comes the activism part of this thread, it would be very great to get such sections in these constitutions amended. These can be amended when a federal court declares that part of a state's constitution is unconstitutional and can be removed or nulled. So to my friends in those states, I urge of you to work towards making the political arena of America a little more even.
