As an example of the above...for you Orange. I accept that you feel that your christianity is moral, is good - or that a christian worldview offers morality. I think it is the exact opposite, fundamentally and inescapably immoral.
My acknowledging that you have exercised your moral autonomy in deciding to accept the morals of christianity - or indeed christianity-as-moral, does not change my moral assessment of christianity or it's morals. This, more than anything, is why I'm not a christian -it's not even an issue of belief. I couldn't...in good conscience, cash the christian check. This doesn't stop me from observing or acknowledging that others have differing moral assessments..and even different standards for morality.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
