Atheists, would you try to convince a religious person that there wasn't a God for the hell of it?
Like for no reason at all, you just do it.

Absolutely not. Religious people say Atheists are close minded. Well, Vicey Versy.
Ask a Religious person, "Would you be open to the idea that God does not Exist"?

@Speedyman Yes it is a matter of making positive sense from what you can see before your eyes. The list of great artists, authors, composers, every creative field, have been religious or at the minimum believed in God dwarfs not just in numbers but in quality those who did/do not.
The reason for this is again obvious...atheism is based on spite and denial of the world around it. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn believed that, a man who witnessed and suffered more inhumanity than anyone likely to read these words ever has or will, while even Voltaire wrote "When we see a painting of a sheep we assume it was created by some intelligence. Why then do we give credit to the copy but not the original?"
Though he was fun to listen to, I believe people will be reading those lines of Voltaire in the future far more often than those of Christopher Hitchens

@Speedyman Voltaire's problem was with organized religion...specifically the Catholic Church. But that he believed in a wise and merciful God can be seen in his story Zadig where he actually borrows a story from the Koran to show man is foolish to question God. He was someone like Hitchens who would rather have said something he didn't really believe because he thought it too witty not to say it. Which is why as you know vanity is a sin.
So even though Mozart actually celebrated Voltaire's death when he he heard of it he cannot be used by the atheists to refute my point.
