Until there is verifiable proof of the existence of god religion should have no place in society. It should not be taught in schools and should not form the basis of any laws. In fact even if you do show up with proof that god exists I still hold the right to ignore god and religion. I claim the right to live without god.

You forgot consumerism and corporatism. It's a bunch of things. Point is, there are ideologies everywhere and if it's not religion-based, somehow atheism gets blamed. It was never the lack of a belief in a god that was the problem.
