Israel is vowing to wipe out Hamas in a relentless onslaught on the Gaza Strip but has no obvious endgame in sight, with no clear plan for how to govern the ravaged Palestinian enclave even if it triumphs on the battlefield.
I’d like a single atheist state where Palestine and Israeli have equal rights but religion is strictly outlawed. But I wouldn’t kill people to achieve that, so I think my endgame isn’t gonna happen

Yes, since both other sides have extremists which aren’t happy with any compromise. On both sides, they are in the government. On both sides, they are willing to kill for it, even seeing it as their religious duty. So if you’re unwilling to kill and prefer another scenario, you will most definitely not get it and maybe get killed in the process. The region might have reached it’s nash equilibrium in constant war.
Palestine is a secular state (at least Fatah of the West bank is, remember Hamas is a reaction to Isreal’s oppression). Turns out a theological state is fine if it is the “correct religion”.

In your ideal atheist state, what would the punishment be for religion?

fraud charges for anyone claiming it to be non fiction and censorship similar to what porn gets for religious media

I prefer a 2 state solution, with Jerusalem being moved to the center of the Pacific Ocean.

Evacuate it and then dump a bunch of nuclear waste there. That way every visitor can go see God in Jerusalem.
