Atheists don't believe in God/Supreme Being/George Burns etc.
Most atheists don't argue that jesus didn't EXIST, only that he was
not the son of god.  As for prejudice against atheists - well, in some
states it would be difficult for an atheist to give evidence in court.
If you HAVE to swear to god to give evidence, you either:
Refuse to swear to god (contempt of court)
Swear to god (hypocritical)
Also, if you swear to god, the prosecution could harp on it.
