We are called to be a good example of Christian love, and in doing so, we draw others to Christ, or in other words, the Christian way of living - which is to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, etc etc. I must admit I fail miserably many times, especially recently with how grumpy and depressed I've been.
To me, this forum is not any more or any less a place to "evangelize" as any other. It is not the reason I am here.
Basically I read that to say "I believe we should be good human beings." I've only been here a few days, but based on what I've come to know of other atheists since my deconversion, I think most would share your sentiment. Respectfully, I think you're mistaken to think that being a good person is going to draw others to Christ. It's more likely that it will just draw others to you. The only people I know of who think that you need to be a theist to be good and loving are theists.
