If I may make a couple of points here:
1st - In reference to Billy Graham's comments, it's not surprising to find a book about this very thing on the bookshelves at most Christian bookstores. It's called the "Christian Atheist", pointing out the fact that a large majority of believers live as there is no "God", as evidenced by behaviors that we have all witnessed or experienced.
2nd - Ask a Christian if they believe that "God" gave them free will. Most will tell you that "we were created by God and given free will". Then ask them if "God" gave you free will, why are they so quick to steal it from fellow humans.
What did I learn from organized religion? "Do as I say; not as I do and we will get along just fine".
