Because religious people keep doing harm to society in which atheists live. If we, as atheists, don't speak up, then the religious people will pass even more repressive laws and spread even more bigotry and hatred.
And some can be cured. I used to be a Christian. Being cured of superstition only comes through education, so we have to be diligent in providing it. We'll never get rid of all of it, but we can push it back so that it is not so repressive.

But why have some religious people got their heart set on converting (or "curing" as you say) atheists?

If this site is anything to go by I think its the other way round.
If someone believes in something then they think they're doing everyone a favour by helping others believe too.
An atheist doesn't believe, so whats it to them?
I'm not an atheist ,(Catholic)! But all i see on site is a lot of people preaching their religious views, I'm not denying they're earnest in their opinions, but I wish they'd give it a rest.

If debate is bothersome, then why are the xtians here? You will find some pretty smart Atheists here that know the bible a lot better than others. Need proof? A common xtian misconception is that Mary was a virgin and that God impregnated her. Not true. Immaculate means clean. In order to have an immaculate birth, the mother must be married and cannot have been previously "soiled". One of many translation errors in the bible.

Atheists don't bother me in the least. They are serving a purpose unbeknownst to them. It is up to the religious to remain steadfast in their convictions.

Atheists continue to bother us because they think we are stupid. They think we live in a world of fantasy and are to weak to stand on our own 2 feet. They are trying to help us. lol They want us to join the real dog eat dog world of violence and greed and politics. It is written in the bible that GOD is love, so if you don't believe in GOD what do you beleive in? To me the bible is more than a book with a bunch of old stories in it, it is a way of life. : )

Science and Reason are the beacons of light against the dark night that is religion.
As long as we shin those light more people will come to them and hopefully one day the eternal darkness of religion will be banished forever.
