Christians don't have the market on hypocricy or "ramming their morals" down your throat. Just as many secular sectors of society do the same thing, but they are more accepted today.
I do agree that "bible thumping" is not what Christ intended when he instructed us to spread the good word. His examples were mostly of subtly pointing out the error of peoples ways, and helping them come to the same conclusion.
The biggest problem I have with the belief that there is no higher being, is if not, then what is the point of our lives here? Why do we feel bad when we hurt others? Why not just live for ourselves, and not worry about anything else? I mean, what is the point if we just die and rot in the ground when this life is done?
