If someone wants to talk about it, I'm happy to tell them why I'm an atheist. Otherwise, got things to do.

How important is it to you to convert theists to atheism?
Sometimes I get the feeling that some of us still like fishing for men, only now we're looking to win them over to this side.  Lots of reasons for that of course.  Others of us don't believe but don't care what others choose .. with some provisos of course.  If you don't see one that fits, be sure to tell me how you feel about that below.  Tell us in your own words if you like.  (Gosh, this just never gets old, does it?)


Of course there will be a poll.  Of course there will be too many choices.  By all means, choose all that apply.  But lets make it public because otherwise I'll wish I had.

May as well start by deciding on the choices:

1 - Losing my religion was huge for me.  I want to give back.

2 - Let's drag these backward motherfuckers into the present for the good of the species.

3 - I just really like telling people to blow Jesus out their ass.  

4 - If someone wants to talk about it, I'm happy to tell them why I'm an atheist.  Otherwise, got things to do.

5 - It doesn't really matter to me one way or the other, provided they aren't pushy about selling it or making it the law.

6 - Really just curious to know how they think about it and why.  It isn't my business to change them.

7 - Hell, if I could still believe in God I would, so don't spoil it for them.  (Same deal as with Santa except forever).

8 - No, I want them to believe.  Might be the only thing keeping them from becoming murderers and rapists.

9 - None of the above, I'll rip you a new one in my comments.

not as important as eating fresh Christian baby meat

That's why we can't have nice things and have to settle for Trump.

I'm not in the business of converting anyone.

4,5,6 for me. I live in Australia, and religion isn't really a major "oppressive" thing like from what I've heard about the Bible belt in the U.S. or w/e. We're very multicultural - I had a guy knock on my door once who was selling the Buddhist holy book (the name is on the tip of my tongue) for a gold coin donation ($1 or $2 coin). Everyone is very much free to express their views without any repercussion, provided they are simply sharing their views and not aggressively shoving it down people's throats. As for myself, I've always had a hard time explaining to the religious in person the cold hard facts for why I'm an atheist, because I feel the reasons will inherently challenge their beliefs (it's either A or ~A, right?), and it's not my place to mess with their belief system. However, I do like having discussions in person that are about exploring both our views in a way that is informative and not so much about debating.
