This is a clip of a guy who actually did that in Salt Lake City, home of LDS. He even dressed up like a Mormon with the white shirt, black pants, push bike and a badge (but the badge said Atheist). Instead of the bible he had the Origin of Species;

He rants a bit at the start, but about half way through the clip he starts door knocking. If you’re wondering what the accent is, he’s from Australia, where surprisingly a lot of original ideas come from, given that the population is only about 20 million.

That was bloody brilliant. I could just kiss him. He's giving those people a taste of their own medicine and they don't like it any more than Atheists do. lol.

No, probably not. Going door to door is not a good way to spread anything, including atheism. I've slammed the door on my fair share of bible thumpers and I don't think any other belief-spreader would get a different reaction.
I'm a fan of Darwin's theories myself, but I don't like anyone coming to my door telling me how to think. People must come to their own conclusion about their beliefs and it will only be their truth when it comes from their own brain, not thrust upon them by someone else's.

Why would Atheists do any such thing?
Why do they care if anyone believes what they do?
I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses & we go door to door to give life-saving information... not just to irritate people with teachings of men.
There are specific warnings that are in God's Word that we share with others because of a commandment by our Savior, Jesus Christ. -Matthew 24:14
We do care about people's welfare, which is what motivates our volunteer work.
But, atheists would have no real reason to do that... there is no promise of any kind of happiness or of life in what they would have to say.
So, again, what would be the motivation? To benefit others?!really?!
"Why do the Witnesses call on people who have their own religion?
In doing this they follow Jesus' example. He went to the Jews. The Jews had their own religion, but in many ways it had turned away from the Word of God. (Matthew 15:1-9) All nations have religions of some kind, whether so-called Christian or non-Christian. It is vitally important for people to hold beliefs that conform to God's own Word, and the efforts of the Witnesses to assist them in doing this constitute a showing of neighbor love."

There's another similar video with two "Al Qaida" missionaries proselyting for the destruction of the western world in a Salt Lake Suburb.
Likewise, "Kiss Hank's As$" is along the same theme.

As one of Jehovah Witnesses I saw the clip...FUNNY...But you either have to have a lot of courage or Gods Holy Spirit to make cold calls on people you do not know.
But the clip is really funny.
Challenge, go out 20 hours every week for 6 months, and knock on strange doors.
Remain up beat.
Faithful to your cause
Happy
Resolute to return and do it again.
Holy Spirit is the only way, that is the proof I need for belief in God.

Why could they could desire to? they're everywhere in the internet, screaming the Gospel of No Deity as quickly as a Christian plenty as breathes, or maybe interior the finished absence of any non secular human beings.

Good as any. Just make sure you wear the "official Atheist uniform", you wouldn't want to be confused for a J.W.

I've watched that before...truly funny....but I would have to say that I just wish that people would allow themselves to think outside their little religious box...just a little bit and maybe more people would get educated on the fallacies in the bible....

I'm an Atheist who has no desire to "convert" anyone to my way of thinking.
My decision to be an Atheist was decided after a lot of thought.

No, hating others does.
Satan keeps' cults busy talking to people that God has not gotten ready to hear His message by His Holy Spirit's drawing them first- much less wasting their time pounding the streets- which, if they are rejected, gives' them brownie points?? with God?- When they could be witnessing to their neighbor next to them by their Godly, spirit-filled lives that are displayed daily.
Not responding to the Lord's call on your life, or not sharing one's Christian faith with the person you meet who asks' why you are so different, spreads' more sameness of unbelief.
