In other words people like Eureka and I have every right to deny the existence of any god. If you have a problem with the 1st then you have no right to defend the 2nd. I have no issue with others' religious beliefs. Unless they bother me about them, then I'll use the things I get because of the Bill of Rights to demand they get out of my doorway. Why wouldn't I like the 1st? It means the oversensitive wusses with Special Snowflake Syndrome can't sue me when my opinion offends them. I won't even debate religion unless I'm invited to do so(and even then, most here know I'm no great orator).

But, if my opinion WAS anti-1st, then you would have no right to tell me I can't defend the 2nd because of that. Funny how that works. Furthermore, it actually only says that the government can't persecute people over religion. You and me both are allowed to hate any group as much as we like, and the same amendment actually guarantees that I could stand in the middle of Times Square and spew anti-Gay, anti-Muslim, anti-whatever rhetoric at passers-by with no legal penalty, because that's the true meaning of freedom of speech. You can believe anything you want, but that doesn't mean nobody else can object to your ideas or try to convince you otherwise. I may hate someone's words but I'm willing to die to protect their right to say them(even though the military won't take me because of certain issues I refuse to talk about, so you could say I plead the fifth on that matter).
