This is why;
Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”

Religious people have a belief system that they must foster to justify themselves, make money, take lands and win glory. And perhaps rape a few women and molest a few boys on the side. People who need to justify themselves have to win followers.
But know this. Religious people are not spreading any Faith ((because they have none))! They are spreading rules, doctrine, traditions, and often political power and death.
I have nothing against anyone spreading their Faith anywhere at anytime for Faith is of God, but religion is of the devil..
Please do not confuse religion with faith. Faith is a human ability and a gift and is the "one true worship" where all the others are false regardless of what name they use. Religion is "something that man does." Faith involves God. Religion involves men, usually without God..
To put it another way. There are hundreds of thousands of people right now who subscribe to Christianity but are void of Faith. This is true of all other religions and groups on so-called spiritual pathways. You can even teach Bible and still not have faith.
Time-Life once published a book "The Worlds' Great Religions". To my mind that is just what they are. The worlds' religions. They, none of them, have much to do with God..

Some religions believe the followers are obligated to spread the word of their faith and to convert others also. They believe it is part of being a true member of their religion.

Jesus said to tell of what he did to the ends of the earth out of love for our fellow man we share what was done at the cross and the great thing that he has done in our lives in believing that souls will be saved

Because we hear the cry of a dying nation! We hear the cry of the child that is being abused! We hear the cry of the drug addict on the street! We hear the cry of the single parent raising kids that are being recruited to gangs and she's at work! We hear the cry of your souls!

Your right! most wars being fought in the world today is over religion. Muslims think they are right. Christians think they are right. and so on.
Even among themselves they can't agree. Muslims or christians

I totally agree with you. Too many wars have been fought over this "god". >_>
If they would just let well enough alone and leave people to themselves alot of wrongs would not have been/be committed.

Because I would rather see people dead on earth and alive for eternity than burn in hell for eternity. One day you'll understand but I suppose that might be too late if you haven't accepted Christ Jesus.

People are only human and there would have been wars anyway. There probably would have been even more wars!
