There wouldn’t be any point to that.
Theism is only a problem for the living, not the dead and dying.
Theists are vultures who pray on that fear...antitheists aren’t skulking around the halls of local hospitals fishing for converts.
That’s the reality of this situation, but completely down to the effects of centuries of social engineering a bunch of atheists on an atheist board find themselves arguing over the merits of what no one but theists are doing, in the context of how shitty it would be if they did or were.
The case for antitheism routinely makes itself, lol. It’s not about taking anyone’s comfort away, in life -or- in death. It’s about getting people to put down their god cudgels. Hell , it’s not even a position on whether or not gods exist. More to the point that it wouldn’t matter if they did.
