White people do not have a right to decide whether state atheism gets imposed on nonwhite peoples. Many black and brown communities are heavily religious and attempts to secularise them play right into racism. Indigenous cultures the world over have spiritual beliefs integrated into their worldviews, the line between culture and religion is not so clear there and attempts to take those away would veer very close to the same cultural genocide they suffered from colonialism.
In the US context and the contexts of other white settler colonies, state atheism post rev likely won't be a thing, because it's a eurocentric concept developed from the European experience and won't work elsewhere.
Also as a side honestly who gives a shit if someone is religious, so long as they arent reactionary it's not a problem at all.
