Lightbulb Separation of Church and State?

The first Amendment does not make that statement however ever if we go with it there is the problem of Separation of Atheism/Humanism and State. They are after all a from of religion with a strong following and many how wish to push unproven pap down everyone throat.
Personally I wish both would just shut up.

Actually atheism is the absence of a belief (a belief in God), as opposed to theism. Atheism is not a religious statement of belief in any doctrine or dogma. That said, I am not sure that what else you wrote made much sense.
