The same is true of Islam. If you believe in Islam, you believe a state should implement religious laws.
In the past, if you were an Atheist, you deny the legitimization of "Kings" or "Caliphs" by "Divine Right". Therefore you would be making a significant political statement by with drawing belief in God.
That is very true. For that reason, atheism is an extremely political movement, because so much is at stake.
