Maybe it would be better to ask everyone what their individual aims would be with regard to theists? To me, freeing their thinking is important as well as the harmful effects.
For me pointing out the bullshit in their arguments, gods and religions is enough. I will expose their flaws and irrational thinking, but I won't actively try to de-convert them, that's up to them and none of my business. I will agressively attack theistic beliefs when they start to influence or dictate public/political decisions. Other than that it's not my mission to save them, I'll just point out weaknesses (Note - There are many).
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
