That doesn't change what is codified by law and the SCOTUS.

Then how would it differ from any other law, Roman, Babylonian, etc?

Humans have been parsing the nature of God since the dawn of time.

Christians end prayer with "Amen", not realizing that it is a direct
reference to Amen Ra the Egyptian sun god.

All these theologies and laws are written and voiced by man, whether
they are divinely inspired is up to one to determine for oneself.

Living apart from our laws however is unlawful.

Going back to Bryan's insolent riff on the law that is unacceptable.

Having a secular preference is neither unlawful nor unthoughtful. It's
just inaccurate as to the root source of our laws.

Iow, disbelief in any Creator is a purely personal matter.

Oddly enough, divinely-inspired laws protect the free speech aspect of
that disbelief and that is a good thing.
