Regarding your first question, atheism is definitely a religious topic. I might also say that my religious view is that there is no god. But we could quibble over definitions.

I agree that "religion" as a word or concept has multiple meanings and that one could broadly say that it includes atheism under one definition, although my emphasis is on the memo's language and how it is interpreted. We can argue that atheism is meant as a religion so far as "religious view" is described there, but what the people who promulgated the memo think (and agree to) is likely how that definition would be interpreted. If the definition and the acts permitted go the way they don't like, do we expect them to interpret it in our favor or theirs?

Pete
