I would say that it would be more in line with this thought process if atheists don't discuss their view of futility of religion with religious people. Do you assume atheists are inherently scientific people?
Science, IMO has very little to do with (and by this I mean for or against) religion. By religion, I mean what we commonly experience here in western culture. Some religions exclude theories by their own ignorance or narrow-minded doctrine, but that doesn't mean "science" is out of the question. In fact I sometimes try to engage ignorant but curious people if they wish to discuss evolution vs creationism (on the side of evolution, just to clarify). I think it's good for people to think outside the box and quit thinking so black and white on that topic.
