This poll is closed.
Hold hands and sing Kumbaya. Look for the overlap and seek tolerance.

Not a damn thing. It is none of my business. Treat people as peers even when you don't agree with them.

Theists are wrong and annoying. They seem immune to reason so insults and coercion are your best bet.

Interventions on a massive scale to free those still in a religious cult. Sedation for those who are too far gone.

Turn them into Soylent Green. It is time for a final solution. Round them up and put them out of their (or at least our) misery.

What shall we do about theists?

I agree with you and I understand your concern, but try not to take it that way. Instead use this as an opportunity to peacefully voice how you would like to see atheist and theist interactions play out.

In response to the question at hand: whether you're religious or non-religious, the most mature and peaceful way to deal with someone of a different worldview, is to simply remember that the individual is human being, seperate from the values they hold dear. You don't have to agree with their beliefs, but a person's beliefs should never out-weigh their value as a human being.
