Then you are lucky, 7 billion people and we can tell you places like where you live are not a majority in the entire population of the planet. Atheists would love nothing more than to leave religion alone, but the problem is it doesn't leave politics alone, and that is why facts matter and involvement matters, not to force religion out of existence, no, but to keep it on a leash so it does not go off the rails.
