Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are the three "monotheistic" religions, with belief in one God, Creator of the universe. Some other religions are "polytheistic," with belief in many ("poly") gods, each with different functions. ATHEISM IS THE RELIGION WHICH SAYS THERE IS NO GOD. "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." (Psalms 14:1a KJV) Atheists don't worship God, they worship themselves. Some atheists, for their own political reasons, assert that atheism is not a religion but instead is the total absence of religion. This allows them to spread their atheistic beliefs freely in societies which insist on separation of "church and state." But this is like saying that "black," (which physicists define as the total absence of color) is not a color. The car I drive is a big, old Chevrolet, whose color is black. In common practice throughout the world, "black" is understood to be a color, despite the technical definition of the physicists. Likewise, "atheism" is a religion, despite any technical definitions to the contrary. If "black" is a color, then "atheism" is a religion. If atheism is a religion, then it must be subject to the same restrictions imposed by governments on other religions. In particular, in the United States, the teaching of atheism must be prohibited wherever the teaching of Christianity is prohibited. But where is atheism being taught? Atheism is being taught, by default, in all places where other religions cannot be taught, particularly in the public schools.
