Pretending to worship a 2,000 year old dude whose religion is split into dozens and dozens of cults because no one can agree on his exact nature or the meaning of his teachings? Let's just move on from that.

The atheists tried to cast down 'religion' as the cause of many of the world's ills, but in most cases human nature is to blame. Humans are capable of rationalizing even the most deplorable acts and they will find the authority to do so.
You may think very little of spiritual woo woo, but emotional influences are still the most effective among humans, especially during times of suffering.
If your 'solid values' are unable to capture the heart of humanity's desire for meaning and fulfilment, they won't last.
Community? Good.
