A good approach to atheistic evangelism is to release short and infectious ideas into the theistic environment.

Here is a good reference of atheistic memes. Put them in your taglines or signatures, drop them here and there into an email, insert them into dialogue where appropriate, spread them wherever you can. The idea is not to convince the Christian that these ideas are true, but to simply drop them into the Christian community and let them proliferate. If Jesus is the answer, what is the question?
