Atheism only implies a political stance when laws are based under religious reasoning, why can't people understand this? I'm almost tired of saying, you want to end atheism? End religion.

Heh...it's not a bad thing to have a political stance. It's just that the cliche that atheism only implies disbelief in God(s) is gone. It implies a lot more then that.

Aside from political stance, it implies an ethical stance, of not following morals through authority of the God(s).

So you have a political stance and moral stance - that believers often feel threatened by.
