does the law state that you have a religion and not just a religious reason? maybe as an atheist, the religious reason could be to avoid the proselytizing in school? maybe my lack of religion requires that i study good science materials and not those offered by the school system?

just spitballing it... there should be no religious (or a-religious) test/requirement to obtain or abstain from any gov't service or function.
