When I was a child, I was impressed with a quotation from the Upanishads, to the point that this sole quotation has been at the root of everything I have done and not done for the rest of my life:
"Accept only that which appeals to your heart as truth. Let the rest pass you by, for the time being. For to each comes his own, and none can gain his own until he's prepared for it."

You have found the Buddha's knowledge or maybe the Buddha's knowledge has found you. Beliefs are very personal and I personally don't feel compelled to respond to people's questions or nagging. I don't mess with other people's ideas and keep rather silent as to my own because what is useful to me might not be useful to others. Remember that even the Buddha was rather reluctant to teach to others after his Enlightenment. He thought maybe his experience had been too personal.

I have at least three people in my environment who are very Christian and are continually attacking my lack of belief in a God and my Buddhism. But then, we all come from different walks in life and I find it's only natural that we have each been led to believe different things. I don't indoctrinate anyone.

I think the best way to explain Buddhism to people is to set the example. Be the best person you can be, learn and read as much as you can, quote the Buddha in your conversations and that's all there is to it. We are ethical because we have empathy with other sentient beings' feelings, not because we fear the punishment of a God.
