Unitarians hold doubt and the use of reason and conscience as fundamental principles, too, and many of us identify as christian (some identify as unitarian quakers, come to think of it). Not that I'm proselytising. (well, just a little. Most chapels are still far too goddy, so we need more atheists.) (I need to find a decent chalice, come to think of it.)
I find black-box thinking sometimes helpful; I care about acts, public political stances, and maybe ethical principles, and judge those. Anything else is private. (What you do think about hate-crime legislation? I've heard similar arguments made in that arena.)
