This is an interesting exercise in understanding the other side. I want to know what YOU as an atheist or YOU as a religious person...Value or appreciate in religion if you are an atheist, or Value or appreciate about atheism as a religious person? Traits, culturally, and so on. It is ok to speak in generalities in this case. There is no 1 set religion that everyone believes in. And not all atheists think the same.
So in the interest of union rather than division, let me know.
Personally? As a religious person? I see Value in placing logic in thought. I understand that religion is not a logical process. I can appreciate that. And even if I feel human's are not completely logical creatures, as evidenced by the political mass hysteria going on, I can see value in approaching most day to day events logically. That is how I live my life. Even my religion is approached as logically as possible.
So in general? I can respect atheists who approach their lack of faith in this manner, but also in their daily lives. When they approach politics and science and so on.

The crowd is not the sum of its parts.
