I generally agree, although I do tend to engage in discussions about evolution and climate change with those who do not believe, since I find it interesting. I no longer try to convince them they are wrong, though. I just try to get them to open up about it so that I can learn about where such beliefs come from. The closest I get to proselytizing is saying things like "Obviously creatures didnt come into their current form by pure chance. But to think evolution by natural selection is pure chance is to misunderstand evolution." or "But don't you think it would be more beautiful and amazing and clever if God planned for and used the process of evolution to create all of the diverse life around us?" (Mostly, these discussions are with believers in a supreme being). In essence, I offer olive branches and understanding rather than confrontation. I don't have any delusions of it actually changing anyone's mind, but perhaps I can change their perspective of those with conflicting beliefs.
