Morality <> Religion.
It is possible to have a moral compass, to know the difference between right and wrong, and have no faith in any God whatsoever. Just because people don't want to have a specific flavor of religion shoved down their throats does not make them an amoral monster.
The lack of a clear statement of Christian Values in our modern society is not what causes the problems so many people choose to equate with that. The problem with modern society, in my opinion, lies more with a lack of personal accountability (which is encouraged by blind faith -- the Lord proclaimeth, et cetera) than with a lack of organized religion in the civic arena.
