What about atheists and agnostics? Do they get to have their flag
flown
above the US flag aboard ships when they aren't holding religious
services?

The atheists and agnostics all got religious on days like this at sea.

I took this picture of the fantail on one of the ships I was stationed
on during my
days in the Navy. (USS Lester) The hut and reel with what looks like
a black hose was actually
a passive sonar system that was towed behind the ship listening for
Soviet subs.

Note the stern light. Gives an idea of the wave size.
