I hope not; I'm an atheist.I live by it, do you really believe you need a god to be a human being?
I don't think our beliefs about God are that good an indicator of how good, kind, and loving we are. Some religious belief can cultivate a loving disposition and so can some secular philosophies but we're generally only drawn to them by our own personal capacity for love (which I think varies throughout our lives and differs by situation).
As for the OP, I think protecting expression of non-belief is an essential part of religious freedom but I don't think that organisations should be tax free unless they are performing charitable work. Some churches do and should have charitable status. Others don't and shouldn't benefit, imo.
