          Additionally, Atheists aren’t the ones who go door to door trying to convert people, or leave tracts in public restrooms.

          Theists seem to be the ones who can’t / won’t shut up.

          I made no claim to anything other than the disbelief in heaven.

          You’re making assumptions.

              My point is that you can’t say with certainty that I’m either religious or not by that statement alone.

                it wasn’t by the statement alone; it was by the fact that you couldn’t help but make the statement.

                  That doesn’t tell you definitely if I’m a theist who doesn’t have heaven in my religion or if I’m atheist.

                  You need evidence.

                    the evidence is that you couldn’t shut the fuck up on a comment that didn’t concern your beliefs at all.
