Religion

Hello philosophers, If it's acceptable for believers to try to convert people to their religion, is it equally acceptable for an atheist to try and convince people to give up their religious beliefs? Charlie Dunmore

I see no relevant difference. In both cases, it all depends on howpersistent, intrusive, and manipulative the trying is. In so far as theconverting/convincing is none of these, they sound like just the kindof fascinating conversations that contribute to life's interest.
