explaining exactly how everyone actually believes the way you do?
"There are no atheists in foxholes"
"Even atheists pray when desperate, they just don't realize it"
"Everyone believes in a creator, many are just too stubborn to admit it."
Do I need to go on?

It's the smugness, and the assumption that anyone knows what goes on in anothers' mind...

Even though you don't believe in God, He believes in you.
sometimes the shoe just fits.
I know you didn't, but that was one of my favorites back from the time I was more confrontational.

I only know this:
Jesus Christ taught us to love our neighbors. Can anyone argue that the world would not be a better place if we all followed this greatest commandment? I am a Catholic, which means I am a Christian above all else. I hope everyone can follow this teaching of Jesus, whether you are Christian or not.
If you would like to know more about my faith, I suggest that you go to Catholic Answers at http://www.catholic.com and then look at the left sidebar: You will see many subjects. You can click on one and see tracts that will answer your questions. Also, the search engine searches 20 years worth of articles from "This Rock" magazine. There are a lot of great articles there too
The"official" Catechism Of The Catholic Church is online at: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/entiretoc1.htm
This is a difficult document to read. (The book is about three inches thick!) But, there is a wealth of information there too if you take the time to learn how to navigate it.
May the Lord our God bless you and keep you, and cause His Face to shine upon you.

As a Christian, I'm not very fond of platitudes and pat answers (strong understatement!) - We should know what we believe and why we believe and be able to explain it in a reasonable and understandable way without falling back on cliche.

Smugitity is not a christian quality.
Anyone demonstrating such smugfulness is revealing they have work to do on their christian personality.

Is it the homily that you are against, or the truth in them?
