Reply #80: The only way atheists are discriminated against is that many would not

vote for one. However, the same thing is true about candidates who hold certain political views. Since I am opposed to the death penalty, I would lock myself out of about 40% of the electorate that will not vote for an anti-death penalty candidate. There is no structural discrimination unless you actually think that there is a lot of religion in government even though there isn't. "In God We Trust" on our money, or "One nation, under God" are hardly big deals.
