Are you proud of it?

None, I hope - I'm the first to admit that I make huge mistakes, and don't want to take anyone down with me....They can enjoy the show if they want, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

First of all, I don't really think you are an atheist. I think you are more agnostic because you really are searching and don't know what to believe right now at this point in your life. We all have beliefs that are subject to change. You will be subjected to ideas every day of your life. You will digest these ideas along with your own personal values and common sense and you will change your point of view on many different subjects. If you think you don't change, then you don't possess a mind at all. As far as your question, I don't try to convert anyone. I life my life according to the values and beliefs I possess, and I try to give good example to my loved ones and friends. If you are a true atheist, I would love to chat with you sometime and hear your views on our Universe. You can email me or IM anytime.

I have personally only experienced about three such conversions in my 48 years of life. I don't try to convert others to my beliefs as a general rule. I try to help them understand how they can know God personally and then show them how to build their own beliefs by seeking after God's will in their own lives. I don't consider myself to feel proud of that sort of thing, but it does warm my heart to know I helped someone find God.

I have never made an attempt to convert anyone. People who convert to my belief do so by acquiring knowledge of fact.

a few. I didn't mean to convert them. I was only sharing my points of view as to why I don't believe in any supreme being and stuff like that. I didn't know that they are too weak in their own beliefs as to be converted that easily.
but yes, I am proud that I made them see my point to the extent that they "converted".

speaking the Truth is just that, speaking the Truth . as a Christian I am not trying to convert anyone to anything , All I do is to speak the Truth of God's Word . it's up to the person if they choose God or not . speaking Truth is not converting . If one Chooses to accept the Truth of God's Word it was not by my power , it was through God's Holy Spirit that they accepted .

It is not my job to convert people. If someone had tried to convert me it never would have worked. God doesn't need me for that. I just try to live my Faith, and if that helps people to come around, great. But I don't try to count on my fingers who I think I am responsible for converting.

Impossible. Our beliefs about things are not dictated by careful weighing of the evidence, but rather our emotional response to information.

Spiritual. One. And no, I am not "proud". Happy, yes, but not proud.
Why, how many people have you convinced there is no God? Are YOU proud?

I don't believe that anyone can make that claim on the issue of converting one TO God. Only God is able to do that.
If they do claim it, it is total arrogance on their part and displeasing to God.
Couldn't say about conversion the other way - from God to atheism.
Peace.
