Atheists/those of no religion are the largest minority in your country. Larger that all non-Christian denominations combined (almost five times as large, actually). Surely that alone should denote the need for a completely secular option?
By all means, start up a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching non-deity based ethical lessons to people, get it classified as a "church" and then you can qualify. Not like anything is stopping anyone from doing this. But most people are atheists because they don't want to get involved in organizations which teach others to be nice to each other. They'd rather stand around and be smug about how much smarter they are than all the people who do.
It's a choice though.
Or they could just add a "Community Service" option to the list instead of limiting it to church or jail.
If that's already an option, they just aren't mentioning it because it's always existed, then I have no problem with this.
