ha ha...I seriously doubt that would be much of an improvement, if one at all.

Count me the hell out.
So, let us go after Christians and leave the muslims alone, is that what you're saying? I always thought atheists were against all religious beliefs, now I know the reality. Further to that, if you are implying that a world without religion will be a "shitty vision", then why are you an atheist? Don't answer, because I know what your answer will be.

I'm not for "going after" anyone for their beliefs, RobertE. 

And I'm not against religious beliefs, in and of themselves; I just don't happen to hold any myself. If you mistakenly thought all atheists were against people holding religious beliefs, I honestly don't know what to tell you. Perhaps you should lay off the Youtube, and read a bit more.

What I'm against, is the notion of anyone, theist or NOT, demanding that others fall in line with their manner of thinking. My issue is with targeting groups of people with the goal of grooming, coercing, and/or making them believe, or not believe, as is the case in your scenario.

How would you propose carrying out such a mission, I wonder? 

Just curious.
