Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
I think the argument for freedom from religion is the issue of making law respecting the establishment of religion. It has been interpreted that the United States can't endorse one religion over another and through issues related to only invoking one "god" and only using one religious symbolism there is an argument that I believe is valid.
Also, a belief system is not the same as a religion. We all have belief systems, but unless there is a specific dogma and unified rules it is not a religion. Therefore, just because athieists are vocal and may sue over their belief in how they view the constitution, that does not make them a religion any more than the NRA is a religion.
