How to Make a Christian Not Try to Convert an Atheist - wikiHow

- Don't hold their trying to convert you against them. Just let it slide.

- If and when discussing religion, maintain a calm and chatty demeanor. Do not become overly emotional, angry or frustrated.

- Explain your position, but don't market it. It's important for them to know that you have a reasoning behind your decision, even if they disagree with that line of reasoning.

- Don't try to avoid religion altogether, because it's nearly impossible and because it will eventually become the elephant in the room. It is better to grow used to a healthy disagreement than to become under-exposed to it.
