Hopefully, if only for a few, we can dispel some of the mis-conceptions that religious individuals have towards the 'heathens.'

I would have to agree that the proselytizers in the atheist realm are MUCH fewer, even as a percentage of the whole, because most religions have the tenet that one should "spread the word" and witness to others and try to bring them into the fold. It's part and parcel of most organized religions. Atheism has no tenets (therefore is not a religion). Most atheists don't care what a person believes, it's the actions that come from those beliefs that are troublesome. But my point is that the number of atheist preachers is more than zero and neither preacher is any less annoying than the other. Even if there are only a few.
There are atheist proselytizers who want people to give up their beliefs in gods.

I don't see how religions that preach peace and love and can riddled with violence and bloodshed. It's a hypocritical paradox.
