Simply because you believe that "your" tradition needs to be upheld doesn't necessarily make it so.
Asking a fake deity to give me his blessing is akin to getting Santa Claus' blessing on the clothes I wear. The last thing I want my children to think is that someone's God had something to do with their education, when in fact it was my children's talent, studying and perseverance that made it so, to give false thanks would undermine their progression and abilities.
Further...I would suggest that religion is an individual experience, the way they transform themselves to meet societal change does not make them a tradition.

You atheists are so smug. What you call "education" is more accurately called "indoctrination". Your opinions on religion is gained by embracing unsupportable history and convenient generalizations.
I am not arguing that traditions change. Society is constantly changing and that is healthy. But, what we have here is one snotty nosed kid with mommy/daddy issues useing bad law to force the majority to bend to his will. That is not the way changes should take place. Where there is no discernible harm done to the minority the will of the majority should be upheld. Atheist boy should just suck it up for 5 minutes.
