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

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.

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

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

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

How important is it to you to convert theists to atheism?

RE: How important is it to you to convert theists to atheism?
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.
