The Jews have Zionism, a movement to create a Jewish homeland. Because, you know, the *had* to have their own homeland. . .And a big reason for it was growing anti-semitism in Europe in the early 20th century and late 19th century.
What about Atheists? It seems that Atheists are catching up to Jews when it comes to numbers. Are the Atheists going to do the same? How would this work?
Because it seems that there's alot of anti-atheism in the world nowdays. And it's the same as the anti-semitism described in Europe at the time that Zionism was established (that's prior to the Holocaust). I mean, you'll NEVER see an atheist politician who holds the same views as a Christian politician get past the primaries. Or, how about the word "God" being stamped on just about every gov't document here in the US (ie: money)? Yep, alot of discrimination.

I'm not a bleeding heart towards atheism but I think that atheists have it alot worse off than anyone else.

Imagine if it were the other way around? You can't tell me that the religious majority wouldn't be up in arms if "in God we trust" and "one nation under God" was taken out of money and the pledge.
