No I don't do that, but contrary to a few ignorant bigots here who just assume because atheists aren't groveling in church 7 days a week that we lead materialistic lives, I spend my time on people and improving myself, not cars, careers or money ( I give away half my income to charity and I am not wealthy). I'm a father to an abandoned kid who is now in her last semester of college. I'm active in local and state politics. For more than thirty years I taught free self-defense classes. I volunteer at a local prison and before that I volunteered at a battered women's shelter.
What Christians don't seem to get, because they focus on Jesus' deity and salvation, is what Jesus taught. The Kingdom of God he described was characterized by what we do for each other, not how we flatter God and defend his dignity. Many atheists I know get that since there is no god, there's only us to help other people and they aren't all just sitting at home watching porn and fornicating, as some Christians are also doing BTW.
I realize many Christians would like to demonize unbelievers because they can't conceive that anyone with integrity and charity can reject their religion. I would counter that in a lifetime in the church I found no more integrity and charity among Christians than people on the street corner. Good people do good works, whether they believe in gods or not, just like jerks are jerks, religious or not. It's one of the best arguments I kno on the falsehod of the Christian faith, that is that the indwelling of the Holy Spirit they claim doesn't make them kinder or more charitable, and often just makes them intolerably smug and self-righteous, which rolls off them in waves when they come knocking on the door.

Why would we? It's not like we have started wars or committed genocide or mass murder against people that have different beliefs. We may think you are all brain-washed, for the most part, but we don't hate the way other people do.
Though honestly I think it'd be hilarious and idiotic if someone actually did that.

No because when you die, according to the atheist, it doesn't matter what you believe. In fact nothing matters really. Yet if your A Christian sin hell, heaven and all other things considered its a matter of life and death.

LOL... I've honestly thought about creating "atheism pamphlets" and handing them out as a joke. But no, no atheists that I know of go door-to-door anti-proselytizing.

YES, I consider Jehovah's witnesses to be the same as atheists since they wrote their own bible and spread lies.

"Excuse me, sir, but, we recently found Jesus, so, you needn't look for him anymore. He was in the Bible the whole time!"
That would be awesome, but, they don't.
