But why are so many properties of the universe fine-tuned for life?
Why are you assuming that this is the case? Wouldn't it be more likely that life simply had to adjust itself to suit the pre-existing laws of the universe?
As for your first question... I'm an athiest, and I talk about God a lot. 99% of the time, it's a believer that brings the topic up, and insists on a conversation about it. (Whether directly, by attempting to convert me, or indirectly, by defending a law based on religious belief.) That's just my experience, though. Your mileage may vary.
