My former priest is coming round later...
As one of you recalls, I finally stopped attending church at Easter, having been consciously atheist for three or four years.
A few weeks ago the priest came round to chat about the arrangements for church music (I used to provide piano noises every week), and asked me about my "spiritual development". Well, I told him where I stood, and we had a long chat, which both of us enjoyed immensely (he's never encountered an atheist to speak to before). He's coming round later for a follow up (at my invitation).
So - he's a nice chap, by the way, so I won't be calling him names or ridiculing him to his face - anything I should bring up for discussion?

Decent chap, you say?
I'm afraid I wouldn't have the heart to give him the plain, unadorned truth. Especially while he would be a guest. Now, if it were on his patch ...

Use the "we are all atheists" argument. Works well with willing theists.

He's never encountered an atheist before? 

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.
