That's a really great post, Solon. I agree with your first paragraph. You said it beautifully.

On the second paragraph:
The basic criticism against the non believer (regardless of how moral or exalted is his/her character and values) ultimately must come down to the fact that he is an "infidel" and "Godless"...and, of course "blasphemous"...for not sharing the particular religious belief of the person he is talking to.

I can see how a Pentecostal could approach a secularist with that kind of critique, but I think you're off the mark about the reaction of most people, who simply believe in God, and who may or may not attend church regularly. There isn't a judgement, but a mild curiosity.
