Default Why are you atheists so determined to push your beliefs upon others?

Christians have a good reason to push their beliefs upon others, they believe those who die without Jesus go to hell for eternity.

Since those people going to hell is unnecessary and unfortunate, from the Christian perspective it is completely reasonable for them to want to inform & convert non-believers.

Atheists, however, believe that those who die with Jesus go into the ground, just like those who die with Jesus. :p

Since the outcome is the same either way from the atheist perspective, why are so many of you atheists determined to push your beliefs upon others?

Furthermore, why are you guys so determined to convert Christians? Why not go after Hindus, they have far more "imaginary" gods, doesn't that mean they are more "deluded". :p

well, i'm an atheist... sorta... more agnostic. But anyway, most atheists arent actually trying to convert you, if you want to believe in christianity/islam/hinduism/whatever then thats fine, we just say what we believe and why we believe it. If that comes off as trying to convert you to atheism then sorry, but we just point out flaws(well what we believe to be flaws anyway, you obviously believe them to be truth) and tell you of them.

Well, that's good. Honest, polite, and intelligent discussion should always be accepted and I'm 100% for it. When I see flaws in atheist ideology, it makes my own faith strong, and when I see flaws in my own beliefs it allows me to re-evaluate what I believe. :)

Some atheists here (such as BrokeProphet) however come off as very hateful and intolerant (http://www.totse.com/community/showthread.php?t=2044617).
