"I try to remind believers *who claim their faith is rational* that faith, by definition, isn't rational".

Why do so many Atheists, who seem to be frustrated by those who agressively and publically promote their belief in god, feel compelled to agressively and proactively state that a belief in God is not rational? Why not just let it be? Is it that they actually feel they are going to convert these folks to being non believers? An unlikely result.

Would they also remind parents of newborn babies, that their belief that their baby is attractive, that by definition, may not be a rational belief?
