I judge others who don't want to see the State "support" same sex marriage the same way I judge people who don't want to see the State "support" interracial marriage - whether such bigots are religious or not. And I only want equality for homosexuals, not any kind of special endorsement.
State celeberation of Christmas, on the otherhand, would be a special endorsement. Unless you're going to give the likes of "talk like a pirate day" the same status.
And by the way, it's 'atheist', not 'Atheist'. Common noun. I'm pointing this out not to pick on you, but because it's an important distinction.
