So your group of fellow Christians stopped the shut downs? I didn't see it, do you have a link?
Why would Christians practicing in secret apply now in 2020? Some churches may have gathered that way but from what I saw, it was just a bunch of Zoom meetings. I wouldn't call that meeting in secret. "They won't let us meet at church so..." no, churches need to work together and stay open together.
Those philosophical points are very loaded. Voltaire assumes God in a vacuum, while Russell assumed a teapot. We also have human Gods like in North Korea. I'll argue what happens is a function of who is in charge more than a specific religion. What would the majority of a population do over time if they were required atheistically to say they die completely at the end of their physical life? They would say just that.
It also doesn't take away from the fact that all Americans, Christian or not, need to stand up together.
Most Christians have families to take care of. You can't do that from jail.
Why didn't atheist stop the lockdowns if, they don't need God to guide them why, didn't they fight back?
Most atheists are for the lockdowns.
Is it unfair to judge whole groups at once?

Atheists have a stumbling block; they don't have a church nor are they even remotely organized. Plus, atheists will need to come to terms with morality, ethics, and doctrine. These issues can and should be resolved considering the alternative of losing Rights.
The point of the above quote is to pint out that it is impossible for atheists to come to terms with morality.
I disagree because of the assumptions, such as suffering has purpose or Pascal's wager.
Atheists living a moral doctrine may act to end suffering instead of allowing it to happen.
With Pascal's wager, God may actually not want us to worship him, like to enjoy our time here in this universe rather than waste time on our knees.
