BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT BUT BUTTON UP

Hadensville, Va.

Despite my general agreement with Katha Pollitt's observations about the futility of atheist "conversions" ["Subject to Debate," Dec. 3], I am always troubled by believers presuming us atheists to be evangelists for our lack of belief. There have certainly been those who have proselytized for the atheist "movement," but I really cannot be bothered to concern myself with what anyone else may or may not believe.
