No, and no. Faith is irrational, and religion is an artifact of human culture and evolution (for an great explanation of this, read Richard Dawkins' 'The God Delusion' - despite the name it is a very reasoned and informative book).
I think it is very sad that atheism isn't accepted in the US though - since it is not a religion, it doesn't require any beliefs or practices that people could object to, so why the hate?
@draik: I'm glad somebody knows how physics works...
