I was surprised when you seemed to sense a disagreement with me, because I'm saying there is (or ought to be) complete harmony between agnostics and atheists.

So I tried to detect where it is you see a disagreement. Perhaps the disagreement is that to me, unimportant things are measured by what one ignores; important things are measured by what one acts to change. That change is worked by "proselytism" and passion.

If the way we relate to religious people is that important to you, you'll act to change it. What will you say to me that will proselytize me to the agnostic view about human beliefs and relationships?

Will you speak to my fear of the threat posed to me and my values by people of faith? That would be a good start. I'll stop taking a stand when I stop perceiving a threat to take a stand against.
