They just don't believe there are any gods.  This is an essential distinction, and depressingly, it seems that it needs to be repeated ad nauseam.  The central point is belief vs. non-belief, rather than belief x vs. belief y.

What would be especially wrong in another religion, especially for
those who already *are* religious?

Skepticism is OK, but I do not see why people should not exist as well
who think that the "God" of monotheistic religions is an unacceptable
concept, simply in terms of worldviews.
