(Not an atheist but have helpful comments)
You can speak to the person's beliefs, even positive effects of those beliefs, without sharing them yourself. You can eulogize someone's faith in God and how faith led them to peace and happiness, etc. Your not really acknowledging the existence of God, just the deceased's beliefs. Of course, some atheists may not want to ever acknowledge any positives from faith, but I guess that's their own deal.

Conduct the service in any way that is in the best interest of the family. If they want a religious service make damn sure your eulogy contains religious overtones. Your frined is dead so it will make no difference to him what is read.
