NO!!!
For anyone that's considering saying yes to this question, change the religion to jewish, pagan, muslim, hindu, or any other one you can think of. If the thought of any of those makes you stop and think, "Wait a minute...", then you have just a taste of the effect that such a change would cause.
Besides, your own bible says something like "In my father's house there are many rooms", meaning there are different religions in the world. What this asker is proposing is to change that big house into a one room shack!

Do I want everyone to have the chance to go to Heaven and know Jesus as their personal Saviour, YES. But it is not my place to make everybody a Christian. That would be playing God, and that's not really something I want to do.
Everyone has their own will, God lets us have our own will to choose and make decisions throughout our lives. It is our choice how we use that gift He has given us.
Some will eagerly get saved and become a Christian. Then there are some who hate God, don't believe in God, ect..... Unless someone believes that Jesus can save them and they trust in Him and Him alone, they will never be a Christian.
So many use the term Christian freely, just like the words, "I love you." They are taken so lightly now days.
We can help tell more people about Jesus so they can know and became Christians(soul-winning). But sadly, the bottom line is it is their decision and theirs alone.
All I know is I want to share with everyone I can that I know I am 100% going to Heaven, and so can they!!!!

First of all i would have to say denominationalism is something Jesus prayed would not happen. The Bible predicted that it will happen and warns against it. In the first century, there was only One church. Over the years, Satan has divided religions into the numerous sects we have today. Jesus did not provide for His followers to be divided into sects and parties. Rather He desired that they might be united. After praying for His apostles, He then prayed that all His disciples may be one as He and the Father are one (John 17:20-21).

No, I would not. Compulsory religion is everything Christianity is against. It's about a volluntary relationship with a loving God. I know a lot of people who are Christians in name only and they bring us a lot of shame. I wouldn't wish for more of that.

"Say: we believe in God and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il: Isaac, Jacob and The Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus and the Prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another, among them, and to God do we bow our will (in Islam)." (Qur'an, Al-Imran 3:84)
GOD Book is made of three chapters: The Old Testament, The new Testament and Quran as a conclusion all originated from the middle east. How can you understand GOD LAWS with out reading GOD Conclusion?

One's faith or moral philosophy is a matter of conscience and personal taste. It would be immoral and extremely selfish for me to force everyone else to think as I do. I'd pass on the magic spell or wish and continue on as I do now, trying to be a good example for Humanism and encourage people to treat one another with fairness and respect, whatever their beliefs.

It depends on what you mean by "make." If you mean they could all suddenly understand the "Truth" and convert to Roman Catholic of their own free will, then yes. If you mean "convert or die" then no.

Ummm... No, I'm Pagan and an entire Christian world is probably as close to Hell as I could get.
