If you had a button that would turn all theists into atheists and agnostic would you push it? why or why not?
I would push the button to turn them into atheists in a heart beat.

If I had a button that made people post an intro thread, would I push it?

I'd push the button even if it turned them into little turds. I'd just learn to watch my step for a while.

No, I wouldn't.
Were the situation reversed, I would not want anyone else fucking with my personal choices. I try to live by the golden rule.

No, I wouldn't push it. I think people should be atheists because they've reasonably deduced that gods don't exist.
I would, however, use a Point-of-View Gun on theists. Then they could gain some logical perspectives on theology, and decide for themselves.

I wouldn't. They'd still be idiots if they converted via button.

Nope.
Im anti-authoritarian, and would more than likely destroy such a button so that none others would use it.
...now...if you had a button that would make human greed no longer exist.....

I'm not big on pushing hypothetical buttons. If I were that interested in deconversion, I would just do it the tried and true way, kill a bunch of them, burn their churches and threaten them with death should they practice their religions. If the Christians can do it, why can't I?

Atheism might be correlated, but certainly can't be called the causation of intelligence.
Better people figure shit out for themselves. Stupid will be stupid with or without gods.
