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.

Speaking as a staunch atheist, I'd say you don't get to dictate other peoples' beliefs or practices.

Public schools don't teach religion, except from a social and historical context. Our laws are not based on any particular religion.

You do not have to follow a religion. You do not have to attend church. You do not have to "live with god" in any sense.

The only thing you have to deal with is living in a pluralistic society.

If everything you seem to want was put into practice, then if proof of god was revealed you would not have the "right" to opt out, by your own logic.

Just let people live their lives.
