Yes and no.
1. Yes: politics in democracy should create a civil space that protects the human rights of all. This means the right to be atheist or muslim or buddhist or communist or whatever is protected as long as it doesn't infringe on others' rights.
2. No: Politics operating within that civil space reflects and protects the [u][i]world views[u][u][/u][/u][/i][/u] of those who participate in it.
