How can you be atheist if you can't ask questions of religion and conclude through critical thinking that it is BS. You might think I'm wrong, but as far as I'm concerned thinking for yourself is a pre requisite of atheism.
So IMO, changing them to atheists would change them to critical thinkers because IMO the two are mutually exclusive.

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
