But as a humanist, I will not malign you for your opinion, in spite of my disagreement.

At Christmas I often delve into music which would take me into realms which my atheism would tend to reject. And which many atheists would do likewise.

However, I tend to let folks believe what they believe, no matter if I disagree. But I will defend my atheist position, if it is challenged, albeit in a friendly way. There is no advantage to doing it any other way. Too few atheists do not understand this very simple precept. It really makes it easy.
