Definition.

Passive atheist. One who does not actively seek out theists to try to convert them.

Assertive atheist. One who will actively seek out theist and try to convert them.

Please tell us why you do as you do.

DL


I don't agree with your definitions. I'd use 'assertive' and 'aggressive' .

I consider any form of proselyting aggressive and obnoxious.


I try to be assertive: I have no interest in deconverting anyone,mainly due to indifference.However, I'm perfectly willing and able to defend myself if anyone gets in my face.
