Why can't they just explain "Hey, those people believe in something that we don't, and you don't have to either."

Just thought I would change it a bit.
Besides, what makes you think that all of the objection to religious symbols and ceremonies in the public schools comes from atheists? My wife teaches in a public school and she has never had any special requests or demands from any atheist parents. However, because of religious (e.g.: Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witness) parents she has often been required to change her lessons or exclude students when she teaches sex-ed (in Junior High schools) or practices Christmas concerts and teaches about holidays (Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Canada Day, Valentines Day, etc.) or birthdays (in Elementary schools).
