  No, quite the contrary. The bible says you HAVE to answer unbelievers:
  
  1 Peter 3:15
  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Peter%203:15&version=9;
  "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give  an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in  you with meekness and fear"
  
  Proverbs 26:5
  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2026:5&version=9;
  "Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit."
  
  2 Corinthians 10:5
  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%2010:5;&version=9;
  "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself  against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought  to the obedience of Christ;"
  
  1 Corinthians 14:24-25
  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2014:24-25;&version=9;
  "But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one  unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: And thus are  the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face  he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth."
  
  1 Corinthians 10:27
  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2010:27;&version=9;
  "If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed  to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for  conscience sake."
