The problem is that inner peace in peaceful religion is often only possible if you agree to be a "slave" of a Gods will and abandon your own wishes to avoid promised hell for sinners.

Atheists cannot encourage something that has "burn or server" in it by definition, even if it has a lot of positive aspect.
