I think that if the classics of atheist thought were read aloud by teachers to classes of captive students; were read aloud before meetings of government bodies; were read aloud in all the same places you would like for Christian texts to be read aloud now, were featured as prominently by the mass media, you would get a glimpse into the difference between having government be impartial among its citizens where religion is concerned, and having government "support atheism."

Actually, if there were a provision of equal time in public forums for atheist philosophers' and atheist religious historians' views to be presented to the populace, including schoolchildren, i would be mightily tempted to say, okay, bring it on.

BTW, just to make it absolutely clear: You are not implying that the Bible identified the 'mother' who wanted the child to be split as an atheist. It was you who made a metaphor comparing a split child to separation of church and state, and did that....
