> The meanings of the two concepts do

Indeed. Because there's no way this could apply to the United States:


> Nowadays atheism is in fact the attitude of those who follow
> whatever power happens to be dominant...

Come to think of it, this quote is pretty funny coming from someone who's constantly apologizing for a state in which religious power isn't merely dominant, but is the law itself.
