I'll wait.....
You can't, and that is exactly my point.
It is not only unnecessary but (as many others have pointed out) harmful.
Yes but not every person who believes in God is harmful so they don't need to be an Atheist thats what I've been trying to say.
So people that believe in god but keep it to themselves and don't try and change other peoples views. Thats when you are not meant to try and change them to atheism because they aren't doing any harm.
Only people who take it to extremes or do or say something nasty then explain their behaviour as okay because of god. Thats harmful, they're the people that I welcome other people (Not myself) to try and change them or attack and hate on their belief.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
