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.

I am definitely a passive atheist. I do not actively seek to convert theists, and there are several reasons for this:
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.

Sounds like the more assertive side has lost a good mind.
Not lost but you know what I mean.

I agree about atheist keeping Religion on their toes because Religion that rule, lag and lack in science, skepticism and intellect causing much suffering from not following shortly with their minds. On the other hand, imagination dose lead science, not the other way round.

My studies of 2% bad to the bone dose concur with other artist business in my field. Where over the course of 36 years my business hired 1000s of employee yet did not take one client to court. Business and person life has been the same thing for me

Yes. The morals of one should be the morals of the other. It is all man.
Good attitude.

U S & Others should note their, Yuk, Corporate laws.
