We need an atheist state!

Welcome aboard the non-Ark!

I don't think an "atheist government" is a good idea, if it means people have to profess disbelief in God in order to be allowed to be in politics. For one thing, there is no test anyway, all you can do is take people at their word.

A secular government is the way to go in my opinion, one that is very clear that secular law trumps religious law (which is not involved in politics at all) and no religion gets any special treatment over any other, or over non-religion. That is what America is trying to have, but it still has some ways to go in practice. Stopping religions having tax cuts for one thing, and making them open their books like any other business.

You can't tell people not to believe stuff, all you could do is forcibly stop organised religion. I don't personally think that's a good idea, while the people involved aren't hurting anyone.

I do have strong views about child indoctrination, but that's a very difficult subject to tackle in practical terms.
