That's what I think, and that's how I live my life. I don't care about someone else's religion and assume they don't care about my atheism, unless we for some reason get into a great theological debate. I just don't see the need to bring it up.
Now my militant atheist nephew, on the other hand, seems to enjoy goading religious people into arguments as to why their beliefs are ridiculous. I've had to tell him to tone it down more than once, because he's no better than a Christian fundie who constantly tells someone they're going to burn in Hell if they don't accept Jesus.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
