So if I dont accept that other people have differing opinions on what is good and bad I could do something which might be good, or bad, depending on the morals of the observer.
On the other point, both theism and atheism are beliefs in an absolute. As we all know, only a Sith deals in absolutes...
But seriously, any true believer in science is a believer in finding the truth through observation of the world, and as such is agnostic by definition. Any outright atheists are as nutty as the religious people they detest so much.

Well yes, but let's put it this way: intolerance leads to hatred, and hatred leads to the dark side... or war, death, et cetera. The vast majority of moral codes and value sets believe in death and war being bad, and therefore intolerance is bad by association.
