Atheists are difficult to Christianise as they consider religion to lack justification in reason. One organisation targeted its missionary activity at what it called the 10/40 window of the world. This covers the top half of Africa, the Middle Eat and Asia. To get an idea of the georaphic region this represents, imagine two parallel horizontal lines, one running just above Africa and the other one below the countries immediately south of the Sahara. The lines stretch from the westernmost tip of Africa all the way to the Pacific. This covers the majority of Muslim countries. The AD2000 & Beyond Movement was/is a global, informal network of Christian missionary agencies, denominations, churches and individuals committed to world evangelism. Their motto - "A Church for Every People and the Gospel for Every Person by the Year 2000" The main thrust of missionary activity in the 10/40 countries is directed where the result is likely to be the greatest - at areas of desperation and hopelessness caused by poverty, natural disasters and conflict. Most of the time these groups of missionary activists from many evangelical organisations and countries will go unnoticed, sometimes they are part of aid agencies and at others they have support from Non Governmental Organisations operating in the countries. Very rarely they might hit the headlines when they cause conflict themselves, like the group of 23 missionaries from South Korea operating in the war-torn poor zone that is Afghanistan. Here's what one report from another targetted country, Kosovo, said recently: "After the last war in Kosovo, the overall economic situation of the country has deteriorated in a drastic way. As is well-known, the end of war meant that Kosovo became a target for many Christian organizations, a phenomenon which seems to accompany every war-emerging country nowadays. The same happened to post-communist Albania, as well as Bosnia, Rwanda and several other countries in the world involved in different conflicts." I wonder whether the ordinary Christian considers there to be any moral or ethical issues here.

For me, it all comes down to whether the claims Jesus made about Himself are true. He said "I am the way, and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". (ESV) John 14:6. Among other things, He is claiming exclusive access to God. If that's true, then Jesus is for all, whether athiests, Jews or Muslims. If Jesus' claims are not true, then it's a waste of time living for Him or telling people to live for Him

Christians normally focus on areas they have an advantage in. Take Africa for instance, they'll give you food and water, but only if you take a bible and accept it! No bible, no food. They could help stop the spread of AIDS around Africa with distributing condoms, but OH NO, that'd be immoral. In reality Christians know that not many people will accept their bullshit unless they were indoctrinated into as children, so they focus on those that need help so much that they'd be willing to change religions. I'm normally very open minded about christians, but this kind of subject really gets me angry, even more so when talking about Africa and the aids epidemic.

Honestly in my opinion i feel as if atheists would most probably be the easiest to convert into Christianity, because most atheist are never exposed to anything other than "there is no god". They have no base to fall back on if someone tells them to convert to a certain religion. Becoming overwhelmed, most atheists in the end accept Christianity. Muslims and Jews, are very very very strict with their laws. Probably tied to be the stickest religions in the world. muslims (pray a certain amoutn every day and face the east), jews(batmitsva, no electricity on sunday etc, the thing with the side burns, wearing a cap etc)(sorry i dont know specifics about jewish people). It is extremely hard to convert such religious people, since they usually risk being outcasted out of families and society. But i will admit that i wouldnt be surprised if it is a fact that most Christian missionaries target Atheists.

Now, let's get one thing straight here. Not all Christians are out to convert others. In fact, it is only a very small percentage of Christians, and the chances are that the ones who are trying to convert others are evangelicals or missionaries and they may well even be being paid for it. They will try to convert anyone, but are perhaps a little more ambitious with the Jews as they are keen to convert as many as possible to Messianic Judaism before the 'rapture' so that their souls are saved. Muslims are, of course more difficult to approach although, to my horror, I have seen them approaching one or two. But any convertion would be seen as an achievement, whether Jews, Muslims or Atheists. To many Christians' annoyance they just don't give up. The non-evangelical, non-missionary Christians do NOT interfere with others beliefs whether they are Jews, Muslims or atheists.

Christianity is a sect of Judiasim and Muslems came from Judiasim too... So... They don't need "saving" But most Christians dont know that so... I suppose as far as they are concerned, everyone is fair game?
-
Definitely. The Word of God and the his Son, our Savior is for all the people.
-
I don't think so. I know I'm a Christian, and I don't try to convert anyone. I wouldn't. It's a sure way of being unpopular every where you go.
-
Yes. Any quick and rudimentary investigation into the history of Christianity will show forced and extorted conversions of all three groups.
