   Ah, I see now where the problem is. You actually think that atheists,   
   and especially the militant ones, are out to convert theists. Nothing is   
   further from the truth. The vast majority of atheists simply do not care   
   one bit about any of the religious beliefs, or about any other   
   superstitious and paranormal nonsense as long as it doesn't negatively   
   impact everyone else's lives. Sadly, we all know this is not the case,   
   particularly in the example of the American fundamentalist religions   
   that meddle into every pore of the society and people's personal lives.   
   How much do you think any atheist gives a fuck about Zoroaster and his   
   followers? Zero, because this ancient religion is practiced by a small   
   group of people who are not bothering anyone. Now, if Christians can   
   learn to do this and check their religious beliefs and the associated   
   "morality" at home, we as a civilization we'll make a huge leap forward.   
   That doesn't require anyone renouncing their belief - just the ability   
   to practice cognitive dissonance where it counts for other people, not   
   just for them. How about that and I'll leave this thread die?
