In some countries, church aka religion is part of government policies and in some countries a particular religion is called the "official religion" of these nations. In Western nations, religion normally plays no role in government practices and policies. In the United States Constitution, the first amendment states that the government cannot establish an "official" religion, nor interfere with the practice of different religions among its citizens. There is a good reason for the amendment to forbid government interference in religion, it prevents government from denying citizens part of their freedoms.

It depends on the government in question and it also depends on how you define "recognized".In some countries, atheism is the state religion, such as has been in China, Communist Albania (1946-1991), and the Soviet Union (1924-1991). Professing atheism in these countries actually confers a political advantage to the adherents.In some countries, atheism is recognized as a religion for purposes of national religious surveys, but conveys no benefits nor causes problems. Countries that operate in this manner include Australia, France, and Japan.In some countries, atheism is considered a religion to the degree where religious rights are concerned, but does not recognize them as a religion where taxation law is concerned. The United States operates in this paradigm.In many countries, atheism is not recognized by the government and Atheists are simply considered to have the religion of their non-Atheist family members. Some such countries tolerate atheists, such as India. Most of these countries do not tolerate atheism and see it negatively, like most Islamic World countries.
