So, yes, it is un-American, dumbass.
No......atheism is neither a tenant, nor a goal, of freedom of religion. Back when "freedom of religion" became codified in the States, atheism was seen as stupid/weird/backwards. It was pretty much a given that you would adhere to some form of religion/spirituality or another. Being an atheist would have (righfully) been seen as an abuse of freedom.

Who said anything about atheism? Nobody. Pull your head out, shit for brains. Being a Hindu in a country requires freedom from coercion by other religions such as would exist in a Christian theocracy. And that would be un-American. That you think that only atheism would suffer under a theocracy is false. Freedom of religion requires freedom from religion regardless of whether you are religious or not. The only people for whom a theocracy would not be oppressive are those people who belong to that religion. You don't think about how it would affect other people and religions because you're incapable of seeing any other point of view but your own.
