      The problem is that they aren’t trying to convince anyone to join their religion, they are trying to remove the choice by changing laws to reflect their religion. They could give two shits about if you believe, as long as you obey.

      Well then you should not try to convince people to accept atheism as well🤷🏻

      Edit: This is not a serious counter argument in case it isn’t clear, ofc no one is going to every individual person, events and stalls are put up for this purpose, so it is obv. that the only one who will go there are the ones who are interested, there should be no force involved

        I have never had an athiest knock on my door and tell me I needed to stop believing in God or I am going to suffer for eternity.

        The thing convincing people to be athiests isn’t other athiests. Facts and logic are the missionaries for athieism.

        Trying to save a person by pulling them out of the cave of ignorance isn’t the same thing as trying to convince them that the boogyman wants them to stay in the dark. This is an enormous false equivalency.
