How about we just abide by the 1st Amendment as it was originally intended?
The 1st Amendment also protects people FROM religion. People don't need to be religious and it should not be forced on people. This is a democracy after all and not a theocracy.

How is religion being forced on you? You're free to believe or not believe anything you want. You're equally free to walk away when others discuss religion if that discussion offends you.
What you're not free to do is demand everyone else share your rejection of religion and refrain from discussing it. That's every bit as much an imposition of your beliefs and preferences upon others as the behaviors you claim to object to.
Atheists, particularly those so dogmatic in their beliefs as to reference those beliefs in their usernames are consistently among the least tolerant individuals it has been my misfortune to encounter.
