Can atheism unify a nation?
Atheism is not a "unifying" force nor is it intended to be. Atheism is not a religion nor a political system and there is no central organizing entity.

There are some faith-based individuals who make the argument that atheism is indeed a religion since it places an individual in a certain position before the deity, but this argument is rhetorical and dramatic, meant to help persuade others to take a theistic position. The argument may have a specialized meaning to people who already believe. The concept of atheism as a religion has no meaning whatever to atheists.
