I had a funny thing today. I asked bunch of people if they believe in god and if they said yes I said "There is no God you can stop now".
5 people deconverted so far.

I have about 98% deconversion rate with this method. I counted just now.

I've never stated categorically that there are no gods.

I also don't see it as my job to deconvert people.

I won't hide the fact that I'm an atheists, however, and I'll argue with people about religion until I'm blue in the face.

I say there are no gods because I find them no different from teenage mutant ninja turtles when it comes to existence. When they try to point out the difference between the 2 I address those differences and then they admit that god is just a character made up in imagination with zero evidence just like teenage mutant ninja turtles.
I'm not gonna bother disproving god just like I wouldn't bother disproving turtles or narnia.

You did know that you're not meant to be able to prove gods right? It's kinda in the description. Not that I want to stop you making an ass of yourself. I believe everyone should have that right.

Which is why it fails so much. Thank you frodo for clarification

When I see a particularly annoying Facebook post, like "I have an exam tomorrow. Pray for me!" That's when I post a comment that says simply, "God does not exist. Your success will be determined by how well you studied." Then they post something like, "I believe in God," and I'm like, "..."

Not sure if serious.

I don't tell anyone "what" to believe. Think they just gotta figure it out on their own.

I just tell them the truth. I don't give a shit if they accept it or not. I just know that many people believe in god so maybe they should be informed.
God doesn't exist fuck it I'm atheist anti-theist now.
