If they so believe their faith to be the truth, they’d risk even legal consequences, to spread their faith.
The missionaries I talked off, didn’t merely risk serving a prison term for spreading their beliefs- they risked death.

You are looking at it from an Evangelical POV. They are called to evangelize.
As a Catholic, I believe in free will. My BIL is an atheist. He had the same upbringing and witness as my DH and chose not to be religious. In my mind, he has been told. I have no need to “convince” him, rather I will live a Holy life and show him. That is my witness and I am about as faithful as you get.
The choice is his.
So, if someone doesn't actually go out and risk death, they're hypocrites and you don't respect them?
Christians are Christians because of who they believe and are NOT answerable to you for their actions.
God is their Judge, not you.
Based on this article and the attitude of atheists on this forum, atheists are just looking for excuses and justification for why they aren't believers. You've corroborated it with your comments so far.
