So, being an atheist isn't really something that comes up. We're more united by our shared fandom with the Red Sox and Patriots than religion.
You mean that the religions of worshipping the Red Sox and the Patriots are displacing and competing with Christianity. The main thing is that you share some religion or other. If you don't believe in any of their gods, then you are likely in trouble.
