"Well, Steve, you certainly have proven the contrary here. You have tried to pass on your "non belief in a God" to others, and there is a growing number of Atheists who agressively do the same. To me, that is not very different from the Fundimentalist religious folks I see on TV, trying to convert folks to a belief in their version of religion. We live in fairly free world. Few Christian religions "force folks under pain of ostracism or hellfire to agree with them". Like you, they just talk, and try and find an opening to convert the unconverted to their way of thinking."

Who said anything about just Christians!

This post represents the standard scaredy-cat Christian response to atheism. After all the aggression done in religion's name we're the aggressors after all! I don't try to convert anyone to anything, as I have nothing to convert them to. Suggesting that it's rational to ask for evidence before you'll accept any assertions is not attempting to convert. It's attempting to get people to think for themselves. Rationally and critically.
