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.

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.

I suppose if I see someone who is being made miserable by religion (such as hating themselves for being gay or something), I would have an incentive there to try and break their mental chains for their benefit.

Of course, it's not like you can just magically deconvert anyone. All you can do is plant seeds of reason, and see what happens. Maybe they'll alter their theistic views to "nicer" ones, or maybe they'll eventually realise it's all ridiculous and abandon them completely.
Feel free to send me a private message.
