They can be really obnoxious in the name of their beliefs. I don't wear my atheism on my sleeve, but I don't let anyone get in my face about it either. I don't bother talking with religious people anymore about their beliefs---if they bring up the subject I just end the conversation or switch it over to something else. I have found that trying to convince people like that of anything is a pointless waste of my time. In my experience, I've found it best to just cut them off real fast. Like David did---they have to do the homework themselves. No one else is likely to change their minds for them. I agree with Dave B. about the lack of tolerance thing with evangelicals.
