Atheists can relate to agnostics and believers, without being hypocritical, by substituting both the past and the future for God while People form the present giving them free will. Atheists can devote time (i.e. do the church thing) to be sociable and reflect on past lessons related to future concerns; but, I wouldn't think very highly of people who did the church thing simply as some form of ritualistic insurance payment.
