I know it’s not the stated reason for the flag, but maybe it’s ok to see a little bias towards atheism here and there.

"It's ok when it is my bias" doesn't make it ok.
As much antipathy as I have for religion, I disagree wholeheartedly. Bias in any form just enables rationalizing a counter-bias. And frankly, the folks who do exactly that sort of counter-bias today are very good at it. We should be careful about giving them more ammo, this tit-for-tat is tearing us apart.
I understand what you're saying but just like "absolute freedom of speech", the ratchet only works one direction. In fact you identified it as really good counter bias. It's analogous to Overton Window always opening to the right.
You've hit on a good point, but I don't know what to do about it.
So true. There are entire libraries that only include books that have been made illegal by various states across the world. People are naturally attracted to taboos and this will only draw more attention to the bible.
