I'm definitely 100% atheist (and I lean toward determinism), but I don't try to spread my non-belief. While I love rationality, skepticism, and critical thought (which are what led me to atheism as well as existential and moral nihilism), I actually think it's better for society if some (perhaps even most) people have some type of non-fundamentalist faith -- not necessarily in a god or gods, but in some type of transcendent moral framework and purpose for life. Not everyone can handle existential nihilism, which follows from a naturalistic worldview.
