Oh like they don't attack Christianity in every thread, and thrall out personal insults - but something as simple as asking why they push their agenda gets them all worked up! LOL

Yep, it was an insult. You say dumb things, I'm gonna call you dumb.
I did answer; I don't go out of my way to push my beliefs onto anyone else. Now, if someone tries to impose their beliefs on me, I am well within my rights to tell them that their beliefs are bullshit and I won't hesitate to do that. But you aren't going to see me marching into a church or even an online Christian forum and telling them to all give up their imaginary friend. Simply put, I won't invade your space to tell you what to believe as long as you show me the same respect. Idiot OP obviously didn't follow that rule.
That being said, I would like it if more people became atheists. Fact is, in a democracy like ours, popularity is political power and I'm tired of having to vote for the politician who professes to hate us the least. I'm tired of having to have some yahoo try to post the Ten Commandments all over public land and often get away with it. I'm tired of having idiots tell me that my being queer is someone interfering with their freedom of religion. And if spreading the word about atheism will help me resolve any of those problems, I won't hesitate for a second to do it.
That being said, at least most people who profess to be Christian are fairly apathetic about it or at least they can be reasonable with it.
