Never deconverter any hardcore religious people, but I have watched many Facebook statuses go from agnostic to atheist after hanging out with me for some time. I have had some people come out and thank me for the Facebook posts I make, and that it has really helped them off the agnostic wall. I think I can count at least 6 or 7 people that I know I have influenced greatly enough to have them identify as atheists.
I have also made some religious people start to doubt a bit. I used to be the VP of a freethinkers club at college, and had many a debate with religious people. Some started sitting with us just to listen to us debate with others. Some even came to out freethinker meetings, and also science club meetings, just to hear what we talk about. I don't think we converted any of them, but we got them to think very hard about their beliefs. I wish I could see their Facebook statuses now, maybe I have converted a few. I don't know.
