Freedom of religion also means having the right to choose no religious beliefs at all.
Find me one post in this thread where an atheist is attempting to deny the rights of Christians to peacefully assemble and practice their faith in a private, non-government sponsored manner. You have the right to privately practice your religious beliefs. The government does not have the right to force religious beliefs or customs on the population.

You start your post by saying that "religious expression isn't being limited" and then goes on in that paragraph and the last one to tell me where you would limit it to. How ironic!
I do agree that freedom of religion also means the right to chose no religious beliefs at all. Atheist boy hasn't been told he has to believe in God. If he would have just tolerated this 2 minute prayer and whatever long winded speeches are scheduled he would be graduating with the blessing of his family and peers. Instead he decided to make some noise and play victim.
