Anyone who proselytizes a non-religion or a religion is simply a bore.

Actually atheism IS a religion (though most atheists will deny it). It just happens to be one that denies a deity.

Pascal’s wager. If you believe and it turns out you’re wrong, you’ve lost nothing. If you don’t believe and you’re wrong you’ve lost everything.

Quite similar to St Thomas Aquinas.

I did have someone say something like that to me once. I just smiled and said “well, when we die, we’ll know, huh?” Then I changed the subject. I am not going to argue about it. If someone asks me about my faith I share, otherwise I try to follow St Francis’ advice.
Go into all the world and preach the Gospel, use words if you have to.”

Matthew 7:6
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Ignore them, these kinds of people are dying for the validation that comes from confrontation.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

People said that about the homosexual activists. Look at what is happen there. We are having homosexuality shoved in our faces at work, at school, and in the media. It some areas of society it is becoming impossible to get a job if one is ( or was) a member of a traditional Christian church.

No! I don’t agree. We must not ignore the militant atheist.

Also,,,,I believe freedom can only exist upon a foundation of Judeo Christian belief. Atheism weakens this foundation.

Although, not all atheists are Marxists, having religious belief destroyed furthers the goals of the many Marxists in our nation.

ALL sentient beings have a religious worldview that defines their morals, ethics, and values. The set of “ALL Sentient
Beings” includes the subset of atheists, of course!.

Corollary: It is IMPOSSIBLE to have a religiously neutral education.
