Unfortunately, we are still at a point in our society (assuming you are from the States or another country where some religion is highly prevalent) where we often have to actively separate ourselves from the religious people. At some point, religion will simply be a non-issue that simply doesn't need to be discussed, but until that point, we often have to explain to people that while morality is still important, we are NOT religious.
I do think that it can sometimes be harmful because we are, in a way, still attaching ourselves to religion by doing this, rather than standing alone by just stating morality is important. Unfortunately, certain things have become synonymous with religion or religious thought so it is still, at times, necessary to make the distinction on certain concepts.

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
