Is Atheism a Religion?

It's called sarcasm. However, half of it is true. Trying to convert someone pretty much means you are invested in what they believe. Most atheists don't give a fuck if you believe in god or not, in my experience. They simply don't agree with people who do.

So, disagreeing with someone is somehow tantamount to trying to get them to give up their religion? Therefore, essentially the only way to avoid being accused of attempts at conversion is to agree with everyone?

Don't give me lessons in class, dude. I quoted you before you deleted it. It's not my fault you didn't have enough conviction to stand by your post.
