(heck, what am I doing here! Jeg er faret vild)
The thing is, while I agree with your comment, it really sounds strange if you’re coming from an atheist perspective. It seems to imply that the truth has to be dictated to you, and not discovered by your own experience.
As an Italian author said, we have to rid ourselves of the false images of God we created ourselves, otherwise we cannot follow Him and we’re just following an idol that we, or our society, created ( the god-justice, the god-will-do-things-instead-of-me, …). Sadly, the book is available only in Italian.
It’s also really warming to read people discussing about faith on the net.
At the end of the day, however, I don’t think you have to have the same beliefs as me to be a good person. There’s a reason why people choose to be religious (and which one) or not.
