Not intentionally. I don't personally think it would be ethical to be an evangelizing atheist. I'd much prefer people come to it on their own.

I've had more than a few incidents where people find out I'm atheist and start asking me questions. I'm not going to lie (unless it's an emergency), so I generally answer as best I can. For a few people, it seems to have lead them to change their minds. I don't like the idea of taking credit, though. They open the door and walk through.
