"Look, the churches have tax exemptions. Let's go complain about them having it and demand equal exemptions."
"Oh no, someone prayed in a public park. Let's go interfere with their pray time with signs and yelling and insist they remove themselves from public property."
1. This is unfair - we atheists can complain without forming churches. I'm aware that some atheist groups form churches. This, technically speaking, is known as 'religious freedom', a concept that the majority of atheists heartily embrace.
2. I'm unaware of atheists wanting to be tax exempt (although I'm sure there are some). What we would prefer - generally speaking - is that churches be taxed like any other for-profit entity.
3. I'd like specific examples on this one.
