Indeed, I believe that is the intent of the courts - but until they take the necessary steps to avoid giving atheism an unfair advantage, IMHO, there will be no peace.

I can't really think of an example where courts have allowed atheists to espouse, in a setting similar to Judge Moore's (i.e., in an official capacity) their religious views as to the non-existence of God. I'd be curious to hear of any examples, if you (or anyone else reading this) know of any.

Thank you for your reply!

I really don't want to throw this thread off topic but here's a few: resistance to mentioning intelligent design theory in the classroom or textbooks, the finding that the phrase "under God" in the pledge of allegiance is unlawful, the exclusion of religious symbols for historically religious holidays in public venues – in particular, Christmas and Easter.
