I personally have not. I will state I am atheist, but if I'm allowed to speak after that I don't speak in absolutes as I am just following the evidence so as new information comes available my theories adjust. Also when debating I focus more on the evidence showing a lack of intelligent design rather than picking at flaws in their faith. I find theists are typically less defensive that way and the conversations are much more interesting.
