As an atheist, if every theist I spoke to had this approach, I would happily debate peacefully with them. I don't have any particular desire to 'convert' someone to atheism, but it does bother me when someone tries to convert me or other to their religion by using reasons that are unreasonable and insult science. I can appreciate the emotional value of religion, and the importance of subjective experience and beliefs. As an ex-theist, I know the value of those things. I loved this post.
