Hi.
I've read a fair few times of people who say that, even prominent atheists, it doesn't matter if you debate believers because you won't convince anyone. I think there are a lot of apostates exactly because their faith was challenged. It's the un-examined beliefs that persist, IMO.

I describe myself as agnostic atheist, I'm 99.99% sure there are no gods at all, and would like to thank the atheists who actually debated with me while i was still in the clutches of religion, they gave me food for though on many issues, keep up the good work for those doubting it can be very helpful, i found both the aggressive and thoughtful debates helpful, even the mocking. I certainly would like to see people free from religion and to be able to ask questions without fear to be able to see people and life simply as they are, I enjoy life now in a way i never thought possible, the cosmos is even more lovely when you really don't know how it came into being, I no longer rely on an invisible unfathomable supernatural being to answer any questions, I can ask them myself.. it really is freedom.
Okay done (for now)
