1) On a basic level, I just want to be left alone.
2) I do better in debates when I have time to prepare my responses, and, when I'm talking, I don't. I'm eloquent in my native tongue, and spoken language isn't it.
3) It invites people who, in turn, would want to convert me, and, as we all know, that's just annoying.
4) I probably won't convert anyone anyway.
That said, if the subject of religion does come up, I am willing to state that I do not believe, and will be willing to debate if driven to do so.
