There (in my opinion) is quite a large difference between removing Theism, and forwarding Atheism. A proactive state sponsored policy of systematically removing religion from the population does not automatically entail a teaching of Atheist Practice, more it attempts to stop the spread of religious Dogma.

...But, really, who the hell cares about history anyway?

Anyone who thinks logically

And, as a side topic, when was the last war fought over religion?

See: Iraqi Civil War

Edit: Off-topic, but how can an atheist be God? Since God, by his very nature, is an unprovable unknown, stating that you're God would mean God is no longer unprovable and therefore no longer God, which would mean that you couldn't be God to begin with
