Abstract
This chapter focuses on secular people’s ambivalence toward conversion, as well as the unique ethical challenges they face in a culture dominated by Christianity. Some secular people consider themselves to have merely deconverted from a religion, and others see their transformation in more affirmative terms, as a conversion to secularism. Secular people also disagree on whether conversion is a choice or a realization and whether it is ethical to try to deconvert religious people and get them to become secular. Nonbelievers adopt various strategies to disabuse the religious of their beliefs and to convince those who are indifferent to religion to strengthen their secular identities and “come out” as secular.
