I can see how the omission of atheists (nonbelievers? What word should be used?) would be extremely upsetting.
Po, you just can't throw non-believers in and have the sentence make any sense:

Civilized individuals, Christians, Jews, [non-believers] and Muslims, all understand that the source of freedom and human dignity is the Creator.

Don't think so. If you think, as Ashcroft does, that freedom and human dignity come from on high rather than from the collective force of humanity, there ain't no way to include atheists.
