Doesn't that imply one of either two things....1) There is nothing especially fulfilling about Atheism that would compell you to want to share it...or 2) You don't care enough about others to share it with them...
Or perhaps the third is you yourself are not convinced it is the truth...for if you were, and the two things above are not true, surely you would not concern yourself with whether or not others are offended...you would be more interested in leading them to the truth!

Well, you can say you "just want to share" with us all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that you won't stop pushing it on us when we don't want it. And when you then tell us that we're going to burn in hell, you're being offensive.
You guys trying to control what we believe are offensive to our beliefs and sensibilities, but you don't seem to understand that. "Wide is the road to destruction," you say?
I say, "The roads to happiness are many, none greater than another." Why can't it be enough for you to take your road to happiness, and for me to take mine?
Walk your own road. Don't worry about the roads others walk.

Christianity was a religion for a certain people in a certain locations, but they tried to make it a universal religion to be like Islam.
That's why there are too much problems in the world.

It would be nice but Jesus said broad and spacious is the road leading to destruction and many are the ones finding it.
Whereas narrow and cramp is the road leading to life and few are finding it.
so If the whole world became christian I would be greatly surprised.

The goal of many religions is to recruit more followers, including Christianity. Which makes sense if you truly believe that your ways/teachings will help people. So that statement could hold true for many religions.

My dad gave me one of the best bits of advice...
Never trust someone who doesn't trust you.
Psychologically speaking, people project onto others what they know themselves to be capable of.
You regularly imply that Christians are horrid. What does that say about you?
When women find a shade of lipstick they love, they tell all their friends. Is it some kind of evil? Are they trying to subvert the world with a shade of lipstick?
No.
When men find a sport team they love, they get together and talk about it. Tell all their friends to watch it. Are they trying to subvert the world with one choice of sports?
No.
Christians love Christ. Allowing God into our lives has been a wonderful experience. We just want to share. Stop trying to imply evils that aren't there.

I think the forced conversions to christianity that occured throughout the Scandinavian countries (not to mention the Americas) speak for themselves.
Asatruar have many days of remembrance for martyrs murdered in gruesome ways by 'christians' ("real" christians not acting that way IMO, I must put it in quotes) for refusing to renounce their faith and convert to christianity.
We also have a day of remembrance for Queen Sigrith of Sweden (November 9), who probably protected the Northlands from a speedier christianization by her refusal to marry Olaf the Lawbreaker of Norway. (Christians may know him as 'Olaf the Good', though he was definitely performing religiously based genocide) It was to be a political marriage, of course, but he insisted she convert to christianity. Sigrith said "“I do not mean to abandon the faith I have led, and my kinsmen before me. Nor shall I object to your belief in the god you prefer.” Of course heathen tolerance was met with christian intolerance and the wedding was off. The worship of our ancestral gods was commonplace for another 300 years in part because of her refusal to convert.
Hagel Sigrith! Defender of the ancestral gods and the 'patron saint' (so to speak) of women of stubborn virtue. She's my personal hero!

My Granny gave me a similar bit of advice:
People tend to judge one another by their own standards.
Think about it.
