I think a person's religiousity - or lack thereof - should not be a basis of how you treat them at all.

Religious views - or the choice to not have any - is a personal one. While theologians argue of the Great Commission and its meaning, the reality is that people share their views on religion, pro or con, way too dang much. Personal religious views should be, generally speaking, kept personal.

For Christians, that means live a life that shows the world something is different - people will notice, inquire and then you can share your views - because they ASKED. Don't shout your views and expect everyone to conform.

For Atheists, that means live your life as you see fit, but don't shout your views and expect everyone to conform either.

If people did this - the battle between Christianity and Athiesm wouldn't be what it is today.

With that said - why is it the Athiests never go after other religions that seek to force their way into society? Like mosque's blasting calls to prayer from the town square here in the US? They are strangely silent on that - but if your city calls something a Christmas Parade, it is likely to be sued.

Just something I have wondered.....
