America has generally taken the same approach as you outline when it comes to protecting the life of a child in the face of extremist parents refusing medicine. Religious beliefs are based in irrationality, as there is nothing tangible or concrete at the foundation. Pure leap of faith in the abstract and unknown, although some "feel" God's presence. For them I'm happy but it has never been me, and obviously not you given that you're an atheist.
I hope you stay dry this weekend! I see a lot of rain in Moscow recently.
