== Religious evangelism and atheist apathy ==
Although atheists employ [[atheist indoctrination]] via governmental institutions and other methods, most atheists do not engage in personal evangelism (See: [[Atheism and apathy]] and [[Atheism and inspiration]]).
According Pew Research:
{{cquote|In the 2014 Religious Landscape Study, self-identified [[Atheism|atheists]] were asked [http://www.pewforum.org/2015/11/03/chapter-2-religious-practices-and-experiences/ how often they share their views on God and religion] with religious people. Only about one-in-ten atheists (9%) say they do at least weekly, while roughly two-thirds (65%) say they seldom or never discuss their views on religion with religious people. By comparison, 26% of those who have a religious affiliation share their views at least once a week with those who have other beliefs; 43% say they seldom or never do.<ref>[http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/11/05/7-facts-about-atheists/ 7 facts about atheists], Pew Forum</ref>}}
Doing overseas evangelism/outreaches in poor countries often requires significant hardships/persecution and western atheists by in large have been unwilling to endure such hardships in order to spread atheistic ideology - especially when compared to Christianity (see: [[Atheism and charity#Western atheists have not done a significant amount of outreach to poor countries|Western atheists have not done a significant amount of outreach to poor countries]]).
