Agree almost completely, except that Christians and any other religious or non-religious or anti-religious people have the right to speak their mind to anyone they like (in the USA at least), as long as it's not harassment.
If you fully understand their position and have a strong belief in yours, it shouldn't be that difficult to give some sort of retort...
You can't ban things simply because you disagree with them or find them offensive...
No, we're not going to change anyone's viewpoints, but it just might spark some thought and can help solidify their position as they develop it throughout a thread.
Edit: Ilya said it much better than I did
