If so, how do you feel about the current trend in this direction?

Didn't Paul get mad because Luke was hanging out with the gentiles and posing as one of them, but then acting like a Jew when the Jews were around.
I guess God would be mad at them.

Why would it be unethical when the question we pose could save someones life. It is not bad to ask a question on Yahoo that you have heard before just to get responses. I mean its against the Bible to say I am an Atheist if you are not, but its just an evangelical tool as long as you are following God's laws.
God Bless

Bearing false witness would, I assume, include declaring oneself as an atheist to impugn the reputation of atheists as having only half-thought out their positions. [Interesting that breaking the 10 commandments only matters if you're NOT a Christian (or Jew) and don't believe your bound to them, but if you are a believer, you can disregard them because your sins are forgiven.]
And, sadly I believe, it makes Christians look like scheming, manipulative, the-end-justifies-the-means liars.
If the message on its own isn't compelling, then perhaps it's the message, not the medium.

Ya, it's a bit deceptive.
I'd just ask the question straight out as a christian.

Do atheists consider it unethical to pose as a fundamentalist Christian just to see how many people they can tick off? ;)

It is unethical and cowardly.

No, not at all. If a lie furthers gods work it is justified.

They can tell God about it one day.
He knows, and sees all.
