Um..I'm pretty sure you can't be sent to jail for being an atheist, even in Kentucky.

Oh, you mean this old thing.

Please try not to sensationalize breaches of religious freedom, the theists do that enough for everyone. The law has nothing to do with private citizens of Kentucky. It's just a requirement that the offices of Homeland Security put up a plaque outside their buildings acknowledging God, and if an office refuses to do this then they are breaking the ordinance, which carries a (maximum) penalty of a year in prison. Is it stupid? Yes. Is it unconsitutional? Obviously, and it won't stand up against any sort of rational court examination. But it's not "If you're an atheist you can go to jail", and we'd do better without the sensationalism. Even the reporting outlet at the bottom of the page acknowledges they made a large error in the headline and first paragraph of the article.

Try a little skepticism~

Also, this story is a couple years old, I'd be interested to see if Kentucky just quietly backed off the law to avoid a nationally disgraceful lawsuit going to the supreme court.
