I thought Christ's instruction was to spread it and risk life and limb so that others may be "saved", too, not just yourself...
Thus far, you have merely declared that you are willing to make an effort for your own "salvation" alone... was Christ that, ahem, selfish?
You just revealed how much you'd be willing to risk for your faith, and as far as it can be measured, it's not much.

LOL! Hon, you need to study up more.
We are told to lead by example. We live a Christian life and others see that. You, by free will, chose what you want.
If you ask, I will witness to you. But we were not told to force anything down your throat. That mistake was made hundreds of years ago by the Catholic Church.
Come on into this century.
A misunderstanding of Scripture seems to come part and parcel with being an atheist.
Again, one is a Christian because of who one believes, not whether or not they fit into your distorted view of what a Christian should be.
Christ's command was to love God with all your heart soul and mind and to love your neighbor as yourself. Evangelicals (and Mormons) argue the Great Commission applies to all. Catholics say it's more of an institutional thing noting that the Lord's command was given to the 11 Apostles.
We are all supposed to witness, of course, and none may be ashamed.
So then you, MTCC, as an atheist, are qualified to judge the religious faith of others; that is, their belief in something that, according to you, doesn’t even exist.
This has the same logic as homosexuals judging a women’s beauty contest. (Oh...my bad...that really happened.)
Anyway, you come off as smug, arrogant, and typical of the Richard Dawkins school of religious debate. You’re far more entertaining than you realize.
