I don’t think we could convert people to atheism even if we tried. I grew up in a religion that actively tried to convert people to join it, and people needed a carrot to be drawn in before you could show them what they had to give up. Atheism doesn’t have much of a carrot.

Only carrot I can’t think of is reduced cognitive dissonance, but most people deal with theirs through compartmentalizations and fact spinning.

Not unless you’ve already achieved it! 😉
