But we care about what is true. So if the subject comes up, be prepared to hear our thoughts.

But nearly every atheist is happy to let you believe what you like as long as you don't choose legislation based on it.


Tell that to most ‘new converts’ to atheism. Nothing makes a zealot like a new convert.


Sure but people are not born with religion. It's a societal construct. Whether family/location you're born to will influence your first religious exposure. And some of course are born into non religious families, those are not converts. They just are.
And no, I don't want to convert you either. But I don't want my secular government policies set based on any religious adherence.

Can't defend everyone you encounter. Don't make the association with all non-believers and I won't confuse you with Fred Phelps. Deal?

This. As long as you stay out of my face about your religion, I'll stay out of your face about my lack thereof.

Really? Because you've run into some atheists who are trying to convert you, you assume that they all want to do that? You probably know a number of atheists who have never brought the subject up so you don't know they're atheists. Please don't judge the rest of atheists based on a few who are trying to convert you.

Atheism is the concept of "zero" in religion... is zero a value? Or the absence of value?
