Your greater good?
I see many good moral thinkers here as compared to the religious.
Do you also post where you might convert your interlocutors?
I see that as the greater good.
Martin Niemöller
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I appreciate what you're saying. The truth is out there and readily available. We have schools and universities to educate. I try to persuade where I can and the respondent seems to be listening, but that is rare. I agree that non-believers SHOULD pursue outreach. The question is how?
The answer is complicated by how religion has been politicized. Atheists have been regarded as lower than Muslims by the Evangelicals. Thus, it has been very hazardous for atheists to come out of the closet. You can lose your job or be subjected to terrorism.

I see the answer as simple.
Non-believers have shone their moral superiority against the vile Gods on offer and the answer is to discredit those moral monsters.
The answer is for the bright to shine onto the dim.

I don't go to such sites but nor do I shy away from my convictions in their company. When I pass them on a street, or public square, shilling for money and handing out pamphlets I tell them that I'm a Taoist and ask if they want to hear my theory. They often say no but I tell them anyway. Loudly, so others can hear it.

You are the norm, I think.
Atheists have shown their moral worth vis a vis the morally dimmer and I think they should all shine onto the lower wattage religious minds.
