Why? Because there's no need to "spread the word", its obvious and without any insecurity to the majority - evidence and reason are the only tools required.


Well to be fair a number of atheists regimes have committed horrendous acts:
Mao Tse-tung
V.I. Lenin and Joseph Stalin
Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge
Ho Chi Min
Adolf Hitler (he said he was Catholic but that's a load of bull)
Suharto in Indonesia

Im not stamping my feet and lighting a match in favour of it, but "live and let live"?
