I wonder why nobody has accused the government, including the courts of establishing a State Religion of Atheism or Agnosticism.

No one is accusing the government of "establishing a State Religion of Atheism or Agnosticism" because anyone who tried would look really silly. Neither atheism nor agnosticism are religions. Even if it were true that the government were promoting atheism or agnosticism, it would not be an establishment of a state religion. It's just not possible.

Texas had a similar case and argued that the Ten Commandments that were posted on our Capitol lawn had a historical not religious basis.

The argument that "the Ten Commandments are historical, not religious" only works if the Ten Commandments are presented on an equal level with other historical documents regarding the law and government. We should note that Roy Moore refused to do anything like that. When the point of a Ten Commandments display has nothing to do with religion, then supporters have a chance of making a successful argument for keeping the monument on government property. That, however, was not Roy Moore's purpose; indeed, he made a point of explaining that his purpose had everything to do with religion and God.

What do you think of my thoughts on the government's attempt to establish a State Religion of Atheism or Agnosticism in violation of the US Constitution?

I think that Larry doesn't have any idea how atheism, agnosticism, or religion are correctly defined. When a person starts from such faulty information, it's pretty easy to arrive at ridiculous conclusions. Garbage In, Garbage Out.

A man's faith and belief system is his religion. Atheism and Agnosticism are religions just like Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism or any of the others.

No, atheism and agnosticism aren't religions. Atheism isn't a faith. Agnosticism isn't a faith. Atheism isn't a belief system (it isn't even a belief, it's the absence of a particular belief). Agnosticism isn't a belief system.

Atheism and agnosticism can be part of belief systems and they can be part of religions - just like theism. They cannot, however, be religions by themselves because they don't meet even the most minimum requirements (unless, of course, we define "religion" so broadly that everything becomes a religions and, hence, the word looses all relevance).

Part one of this discussion appeared yesterday.
