First of all, do you understand what 'de jure' means? Its a legal term, applicable in legal contexts, which this is not.

Secondly, there are no practical effects stemming from 'atheism'. Atheism is simply a small aspect of a person's philosophy and that is not the same for all atheists. So, it'd be impossible to define it - or rather, redefine it, since it already has a definition - based on your imagined practical effects.
