MTL, I hear you about theists who actively seek to evangelize (putting it mildly) and it bugs me as well. I'm not a pushy type of person in general, and feel that everyone who leaves faith, should do so after serious reflection and on their own...and same for identifying with a particular faith. It should be something private, and moving, and not at all coerced by others. There are dogmatic theists out there, but also dogmatic atheists, as well...and both sides sometimes forget that while you can plant a seed to share with someone, that person has to decide for themselves what fits with their own worldview, their own experiences, etc. I used to say as an atheist that the greatest weapon against Christianity will be Christians, themselves, for some (many) don't realize how offensively they come across.
