Penn of [Penn and Teller](http://www.pennandteller.com/?ref=dashhouse.com) is an atheist. His response to being evangelized after a show may surprise you.

“I don’t respect people who don’t proselytize. If you believe that there’s a heaven and hell, and people could be going to hell, and you think, ‘Well, it’s not really worth telling them this because it would make it socially awkward’…How much do you have to hate somebody not to proselytize?”
