Accepting facts isn't exactly falling "in step" with a belief system, it's simply an acceptance of reality. The more people accept the world around them and how they came to be, the less likely they would be to believe in silly fairy tales that cause them to engage in hate and violence towards others who don't accept their falsehoods.
But hey, you enjoy church this weekend, be sure to try the grape juice and crackers. I used to love those when my parents would force me to go to church with them when I was 12.
