Not long ago, I was talking with an atheist about the problems which occur when an atheist and a theist get on the topic of the presence of god. He suggested that the atheist ought to be prepared for this kind of encounter. But, I ask why? Why try to reason having a superstitious soul? Nevertheless, the atheist stated he was rather passionate about convincing and converting believers into atheists to be able to maintain the separation of church assuring. Okay so, let's discuss this we could?
Indeed, he may be correct in his thoughts about the separation of church assuring - but going around and from one's way to purposefully harass people is what many religious individuals are doing now. Yes, an atheist, a minimum of in a good many parts of the planet, will always get into unanticipated conversations about such things, but perhaps it is best to smile and nod one's head instead of put it onto a chopping block.
Being enthusiastic about one's personal mission is really a noble trait, I don't knock it, however it probably isn't best way to win friends and influence individuals the current period. Further, I personally find arguing or debating this topic to be unenlightening, if a person will claim superstition as fact, there is nowhere to go with it, other than to depart and not waste anymore time. Why bother, it might be like attempting to convince a Juvenile Chimpanzee that he should quit his quest for the next promised banana. You can't convince someone against their will, not a Chimpanzee or the other upright walking carbon bi-pedal species.
For atheists to suggest that we ought to remove "god" from the pledge of allegiance or remove manger scenes in the parks, or even crosses in the surface of a hill, well that isn't likely to win any friends or influence any people either. Atheists cannot get upset with Christians promoting their beliefs and attempt the same kind of technique to promote their own agenda unless they do so in hypocrisy and in which case they aren't fighting the good fight with reason. This in and of itself defeats the objective of many atheists to convert Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and other religious folks.
