Quote from: "Smallville"And as far as "making" me join your church...
I'm actually inclined to accept the invitation. Spiritlover might be surprised to know that it's very easy for me to nurse doubts already in theists when in person. I'd walk in one atheist and likely leave with several more.

I can see your point. When talking with other folk in an academic setting (or just bull sessions) it is possible to bring people to awareness. However, the uber-conservative area where I'm from, an atheist speaking out in church is still liable to be tarred and feathered. Many people I know as well-educated and/or intelligent turn a stone-deaf ear to anything contrary to their faith no matter how well presented.
Two wrongs don't make a right but three left turns will.

I'd love to see that in action.
