No one can't say that and make any sense one COULD say that if they wanted to assert "Under no god because one does not exist"- but absent that the two positions are not equal.

"You can respond with pretend sarcasm" That is good of you. I decline. "the point stands that if atheists believe that "Under God" should be out of the pledge, one can as well say that they should keep that belief to themselves as that religionists should keep to themselves the belief that it should stay in." The point stands?? All you asked me was if belief in atheism was a private matter as you assumed. The question was outright stupid. It certainly did not make any point of any kind. My comment that belief is a private matter means that beliefs may not be coerced...not that they may not be held, or shared. Grow up.
