Legally giving protection to Atheist does not make it a religion

Nah. It's just reality. What something is today, it may not be tomorrow. When you can accept that things change, then it's much easier to proceed through life. That's why we're not still using Windows NT, but it's still Windows, just version 10. It doesn't mean that people aren't still using Windows NT, 7, 8, 8.1 or think any of those versions are superior, but we're still on version 10. Get with it or fall behind.
