Doesn't really matter what you think. The US Supreme Court gets to make those decisions, not you.
As for the First Amendment, it starts out "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion....." It's no stretch to see that it protects the lack of religion. Requiring by law that anyone have a religion is "respecting an establishment of religion".
