Oh, sure: I have things I'd like to see changed in today's society, but I'm pretty sure atheists also have things that bug them about today's society.
Like...you're probably not a big fan of mandatory prayer in schools...or "In God we trust" on the money...or American presidents always mentioning God in every speech they give whereas this is never done by Canadian or British Prime Ministers....
I am an atheist and I give no ****s that "In God we Trust" is on money, nor that "One nation, under God" is in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why should I care?
Also the mandatory prayer is very simple. First of all if it is truly mandatory, the school is probably a Christian (change this to w/e religion you please, really) based school, and thus I wouldn't be there anyway. Otherwise if its not a school that is based around a specific religion, then I will simply sit there quietly til the prayer is over, and go on about my day. If someone complains that I was disrespectful for not praying, I'll simply tell them that my respect comes from not opening my mouth and disturbing those who wish to participate.
