Why should atheists be willing to be more outspoken?
See the billboard picture, and this article.

I like that. An atheist is someone who believes that nothing made everything.
And a theist is someone who believes that God made everything and nothing made God.

they cannot even get rid of the word «made», which implies purpose and planning. they cannot think outta the purpose idea. Things cannot happen without somebody making them happen to them.

I think the stigma that surrounds atheism (Although, I feel it is decreasing) is ridiculous.
There was a bus ad campaign over here in England, where christians started 'advertising' christianity... "Jesus said: I am the resurrection, the life and whoever believes in me will live" *With a picture of 'Jesus' on the side.
There was no uproar about this, no news coverage, everyone just went about their life... Oh look there's another Jesus ad, and so on.
The atheist community then made their own ad (The money was raised by atheist's around the country and was matched by Dawkins)... "There's probably no God, So stop worrying and get on with your life"...
Suddenly it was on the BBC news, 'how can atheist's do this' etc. Christians were livid.
It's for these kind of reactions, that I feel atheists aren't more outspoken. They should be or.. we should be more outspoke.

I would say:
* A theist is someone who believes nothing made a God that made everything else with zero evidence.
...and..
* an atheist is someone who doesn't know whether the universe was made or came to be, but is still searching, for he hates using the the «god of the gaps argument» for things he cannot understand --by now--.

A Theist is someone who believe's in a God. A God which had no creator, and created everything. (They wont see it as 'zero evidence')
A Atheist is someone with a lack of belief in God/s.

I am new to this site and see that no one has posted anything lately. The reason I came across this site is because I have had many people lately try to "save me" and convert me to Christianity. I like the people, but dislike them trying to change me. I respect their opinion to believe in Christianity, but wish they wouldn't try to push it on me. I would like some opinions of good ways to politely tell them to please leave me alone about it. Thank you in advance for your help.
