What is the difference between government acknowledgement of religion and government endorsement of religion?
Acknowledgment is the acceptance that a religion is actually a religion, and that people can practice it.
Endorsement is the active promotion of one religion above another, giving preference to members of that faith.
As an example, the British crown endorses Christianity (and even prefers the Church of England), while it merely acknowledges Sikhism.

What is the difference between government acknowledgment of religion and government endorsement religion?
You seem to have an issue relating to what the words mean, so we have to explain what the words mean. "Religion" is defined in the bible as men telling each other what to do. That is what governments do, and that is why we can not allow our government to approve or disapprove competing religions. Consider a town where the school auditorium is the only place big enough to seat a large audience. If the school rents the auditorium to other groups but refuses to rent for a church meeting, that is discrimination and the courts forbid it. But if the school does not rent the auditorium for any other purpose, then it would be against the law to rent to the church group. In both cases the school would acknowledge the religious nature of the gathering, but one case is a denial and the other is an endorsement.

How do atheists feel about prayer in school?
Atheists, by definition, do not believe in a higher power. They therefore have nobody to pray to and no reason to pray. As a result they clearly do not want prayer to be a mandatory activity or an activity that requires pro-active opt-out. Most atheists do not mind people of faith praying but they believe any government/public promotion or endorsement of one religion over another or religion over non-religion is a violation of the first amendment of the constitution. This position is exactly the one stated by the Supreme Court in the 1971 Lemon test and the 1984 endorsement test. If a public school official/employee leads children in prayer at school, it is an implicit endorsement of religion (and usually a specific religion). If a student wants to pray at school in private or in a small group of like-minded students, that is perfectly legal under the constitution and perfectly acceptable to the vast majority of atheists.
