Do you have a link for that Kentucky thing? Seems unbelievable to me. Also I think that Atheist being Banned in Iceland or Russia, where the majority of the population are Atheists, doesn't seem very realistic. As Atheists shouldn't we focus on what's actually real. Atheists being strongly discriminated against in New Zealand? Lol.
Edit: Looked into the Kentucky thing myself. Holy shit. Hard to believe that's real. I'm sure the Supreme court will overturn it. Can hardly think of anything more unconstitutional. Although if I read the law correctly:
Does that only apply to Atheists in public office? Like you can be elected as an Atheist but then sent to jail if you refuse to acknowledge god? Not even sure. I'd love to be arrested in Kentucky just for being an Atheist.

Quote: “The safety and security of the Commonwealth cannot be achieved apart from reliance upon Almighty God as set forth in the public speeches and proclamations of American Presidents, including Abraham Lincoln’s historic March 30, 1863, presidential proclamation urging Americans to pray and fast during one of the most dangerous hours in American history, and the text of President John F. Kennedy’s November 22, 1963, national security speech which concluded: ‘For as was written long ago: Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.’
