Christians would probably agree with this. The key here is they have different criteria for truth from what you do. If there's one thing I've come to realize after years of debating with people online (and IRL), it's that it's more productive to explain why you don't accept what they believe to be true rather than aim/hope to persuade them into abandoning what they believe. If you think it's wrong that they be Christian, you should let this be their problem, not yours. In the meantime you can focus on improving your critical thinking skills: examine the criteria for truth you actually hold to, question them, read books/articles by thinkers of all sorts and stripes (especially those you disagree with), challenge your currently held views with what you see to be strong counter arguments and argue back against those if you can, adjust views when appropriate. Years from now, you are going to see a lot of views discarded even as an atheist, and perhaps not just views being changed but also one's attitude on things such as religion.
