I don't think anything should be held against anyone in the context of atheism and theism. One can be a good theist or atheist, just as one can be a bad atheist or theist. I would say that for something to held against someone, one would need to produce it's effects on them negatively, or visa versa. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a theist, and used his faith to inspire true progress. He was one of the post important people who ever lived. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was a theist of much the same caliber who brought about true progress.
It's only when faith (or a lack of faith) becomes destructive that it should be addressed in the negative.
It's funny, you can actually track the change in my philosophy through my post history. Heh.
