Actually, Will, I was going for the Curing teh Ghey angle, but same deal.
Atheists reason with people. Reason is, metaphorically, Atheist sacrament.
Frankly, I think the reason that Atheists don't actively convert people is that, those who try generally go about it in such a way as to defeat their purpose. No one every was persuaded by being told they were stupid, no matter how painfully obvious it may be to all others (as in the case of the hundred examples given). And telling people that their God that they believe in is a myth - the fundamental tenant of Atheism - will be perceived as just that unless done more carefully than anyone has figured out how to do just yet.
I honestly would love to learn an approach that could effectively cause such people to turn their bile to constructive use, but ... And I can't really articulate it in any specificity without Christian Bashing, but I do think it would be fair to say that Any religion that's going to last more than a couple hundred years carries within it the ideological equivalents of antibodies and white corpuscles.
