Attack of the Theocrats!
I'm not quite sure why you feel the need to "convert" or "de-convert" them or whatever. What are you, some kind of crusader of the truth and enlightment that saves others for a living? You don't even know whether you are right yourself. Let them be, and ask from them the same(if, of course, they are jerks to you, be jerk to them too, or ditch them). You know nothing. We know nothing, buddy. You made your choice, they made theirs. The world can exist with different opinions without imploding. You immediately place yourself "above" them, as if, by default, you are right and they are wrong, and they ought to see the light. Sorry, it isn't so. Lower your ego a bit, hm? We don't know who's right. You believe you are right, so do they. You are not special. Live with it, or, alternatively, socialize only with atheists. shrugs
