[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  There are some religions that fall under an atheist umbrella (certain sects of Buddhism, for example) but aethiesim is explicitly the lack of religion. I am now atheist after having been raised Christian and I do not try to convert people, nor do I talk about my atheism.  I find that Christians are the most aggressive about trying to convert people, so I don't know what the pp is talking about.[/quote]

I don't try to convert anyone. I'm actually silent about my faith, because I know everyone despises it. So I'm not really sure what [i]you're [/i]talking about. Different experiences, I guess.[/quote]

Some, but certainly not all, Christians actively try to convert people.  Think about the Mormons and Jehovah's witnesses who go door to door.

Never seen atheists doing that.[/quote]

No, but my atheists friends mock me and try to tear holes in my logic every time I see them - simply because they know I was Christian growing up. Difference experiences...[/quote]

Mocking you is not converting. They, probably, find that you are easily sucked in into a debate. Some people just like that. It's you and your friends specific dynamics. [/quote]

And maybe they are not trying to tear holes in your logic -- but are pointing out things about your beliefs that you yourself can recognize as not being logical.

Religions in general do not claim to be based on logic, but rather on beliefs and professions of faith.  [/quote]

I disagree. It makes sense to me, and atheism does not.

The problem is, they don't want to hear my logic or my reasoning. [/quote]
