The reason 'we atheists' take a stand against certain things like 'prayer in public schools', the mention of 'god' in the Pledge, the '10 Commandments' in the courtroom, and so on... is in defense of secularism. I don't want to force others to believe what I believe, but I also do not want others to force their beliefs on me. Striving to keep any and all religion out of government is not the same thing as forcing my lack of belief on people. People have the right to believe whatever they want... 'we atheists' included. 'We' fight against religion's tendency to (intentionally) permeate the government, because allowing it to happen threatens the religious freedoms of everyone.
