To be a the kind of relativist as you define is utopian. I can think of no one who is a true relativist using your definition. Nearly everyone has a belief in something, "I believe people shouldn't kill one another", is a belief. "I believe people shouldn't pollute the water, air, or cause a species to become extinct", is a belief. Whether they want to admit it, is another question.

Believing that natural laws guide our inner conscience is not being an extremist or a zealot.

Seems to me what you're searching for is more inclined toward "pragmatism" then relativism. But it's probably just a pathetic rambling from an unread extremist.
