But couldn't they just do that under secular organizations? Why do they have to be a separate organization specific to atheists?
Plus, it is everybody's right to voice their opinions (which is obviously going to reflect their personal beliefs) to their government because those policies will affect them, too. Obviously, they want lawmakers to enforce policies that align with the kind of society they want. Thus, Christians have every bit of right as gays, blacks and other minorities, etc. to push for overall policies that eventually affect them as well.
It sounds like what you're asking for is censorship on religious teachings. Personally, I think everything should be put out on the table and each person can make their own decision about things. I really don't think children are getting over exposed when there are so many other stuff in the world that is non-religious thrown at them. And trust me, it isn't just religious groups that are against homosexuality. There are many cultures that are dead set against it. They're also against abortion as well. Plus, even women who have had abortions aren't so proud about it either. If it's a right, why do they have to hide it?
