I’ve never felt it’s my responsibility to educate them. Somebody dropped the ball, but I’m not going to chase it It’s up to them to prove their mythical beliefs to us; we have none, thus no need to prove anything.

It does appear to be the latest ..rebuttal tactic of the religious, attempting to claim we’re just as bad as they are. I’ve had it used on me in a couple recent real-life exchanges.. Our responses should reflect how we feel, like yours.. which shows they’ve come from within us and are not a coordinated attack on religion.

I don’t live where you do...thankfully, but I can’t help thinking you would be better not wasting your time and energy.

I think the reason why I do it is partially because it's kinda fun to see their reactions when you point out the fallacies of their religions and their "holy" book
