It has not been sufficiently noted that freedom of religion requires freedom from religion. If the foundational idea is that people should be free to follow their reasoning about the nature of the world where it takes them, then that reasoning should actually be free from coercion and constraint. One such constraint consists in understanding freedom of religion as a kind of menu of different religious options from which people can choose. That menu has an atheist option, but I reject it. I don’t think I should have to choose from a menu of religions in the first place.  –
