I have one theory on this while thing: Though it is indisputable that the founders did not wish any one religion to be intertwined with government, they did allow and hold that a religious nature should not be diminished and (for them) it was common and commendable.
So, I firmly hold that atheism is actually to be considered a 'beleif' system. As in: group 'a' believes in 'Allah'; group 'B' believes in 'Buddha', group 'C' believes there is no God, group 'D' believes in 'Christ', etc. etc.. Or, more simply: is 'zero' a number? We certainly use it in many calculations.
With that the case, there is true diversity. Secularism far too often actually favors one belief system (Atheism) over all others in it's desire to seperate church and state. Atheism has it's place, like any other belief system and should not be considered the 'default' belief system of the USA. That would violate the spereration of Church and State.
