Why do atheist try to convert Christians

Like the title says why do you think that atheist try to convert Christians?
Why do they try to prove them wrong?
Do you have any idea why they do this?

( Sorry - To Arella May, not Reasoning Logic)

I have given you this answer before:

Richard Harris argues that all belief involving "an afterlife" gives succour to extremists who would destroy "this life" . Since modern technology now gives extremists the means to do this, "believers" are likened to "recreational drug users" who disclaim the dangers of addiction.

Christians who argue that their belief system occupies "the moral high ground" in this matter need only consider their brethren awaiting "the Rapture in the Holy Land" to realise they will be tarred with the same brush.

Some do, and there are certainly militant "atheists" who make a religion of their alleged non-belief, and attempt to make science a scripture. In my experience, precious few know much about science (and if i, who am not well educated in science, can spot that, they're in sad shape). These people attempt to beat others to death with their supposed excellent world view.

But this is a venue to which people come to argue such things. Most of the atheists here that i know of don't bring this sort of thing up, and most don't head for religious threads to argue. Even those who do are behaving in a manner which is not typical of their behavior in real life. Out in the world, i avoid the subject of religion. It's ill-bred, for one thing. People in society who wish to be polite do not bring up politics or religion as subjects for conversation. Another matter is that politics and religion are only likely to come up in conversation with fanatics. I have no interest in discussing things with fanatics.

It's an absurdity to say that atheists try to convert christians. I stopped practicing religion when i was 13. I stopped believing when i was about 17. But i was 40 before i ever encountered the militant, pushy, annoying kind of atheist and i avoid them like the plague.

They believe they have the truth and they want to share that truth with others.

What is a true atheist?

Do some people only pretend to be atheist?

I would think that atheist are like a box of chocolates varying in many different ways!

Should read "I don't know how to write a question.

Note that your use of the word "us" conveys another false impression

Also, questions usually end with a question mark. Here's what it looks like: ?

I do not think proving someone wrong entails trying to convert that individual.

Your title is disinegenuous and funny to boot.

Do you know of people that try to prove other people correct in order to convert them?

Humankind in general trying to expand and improve its store of actual knowledge about the universe by eliminating fallacious reasoning, empirically indefensible belief systems that discourage investigation into matters that may challenge the core belief, and, of course, challenging the various belief systems that have justified bloody holy wars in order to put a stop to the bloodshed. (Atheists aren't terribly militant against Buddhism, for example, because Buddhism hasn't been used to justify a holy war.)
