Modern atheists are not content to just personally believe in no God; they want to do everything possible to convert you to their godless religion. Their main weapons are not reason and science but ridicule and cynicism. It's hard to win many over to full-fledged atheism, because it's nearly impossible to live out the dark implications of this faithless faith. However, what they are successful in doing, is giving millions of young people intellectual cover to be agnostic (or "nones").
