It makes me really angry when people do that. So I can tell it's a bad idea.
I feel you are right.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Yep, just a joke. No offense intended.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I agree with Jenny's stance; however, if I were compelled to give it a go it would read something like this:
Fuck god.

Ignoring how foreign countries might view the matter, what kind of law or rule would you make against theism or religions? I'll go at it first 
"Distribution of any theistic ideas without prior implication and explicit acknowledgement of their falsehood is illegal and punishable by law."
Theists don't care about the laws of men but they're more afraid of being sinners, so: "Worshipping any deities is a mortal sin". That should do.
Laziness is the engine of progress.

One one line?
No ecclesiastical belief will be professed as publicly true or supported through monetary or given deference by any organ of the state or agent there of.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
