Naw, I find I still have use for the word "should" as an atheist. I just don't find it useful as a lever in trying to manipulate the behavior of others. My use of "should" is always as a suggestion, never an imperative. They express my values and preferences and invite agreement. Those more comfortable with coercion can try to make the moral imperative work for them. I've sworn off.
