I am as hardcore atheist as you can get, but I purposely go out of my way not to tear apart any mainstream faith. I have my beliefs and others have theirs. Also, I have noticed that some people just can't handle life without religion, why try to take it away from them when it helps them so much? I don't see any sort of coherent, consistent, secular moral philosophy that provides the kind of "right" and "wrong" that many people need and take from religion, (so relativism is out). So there isn't anything I can preach to them to replace religion, if I wanted to anyway.
