Seems everybody's blaming everybody else for "pushing" their opinoins/views on each other regardless if they're christian,buddist,islamist,jehovahs witness, athiest, agnostics or chewbacca. Let's find a common middle ground?

A common misconception is that Jehovah's Witnesses go from door-to-door to "push their godliness on householders". In fact, Jehovah's Witnesses would go from door-to-door even if there were no hope that anyone would change their religion, or even if no one would listen to them!
That is because Jesus Christ specifically assigned the house-to-house ministry to the Christian congregation, with no regard for specific results.
(Luke 10:1,2) After these things the Lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos in advance of him into every city and place to which he himself was going to come. 2 Then he began to say to them: “The harvest, indeed, is great, but the workers are few. Therefore beg the Master of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.
Jehovah's Witnesses are trained to direct attention to the bible, and move on when their message is unwanted. Since each congregation in the United States tries to call at every home in its territory at least twice each year, there is strong motivation for them to move on where little interest is shown. Also, the Scriptures help the Witnesses to expect little interest from most:
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching ...and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.

I agree with you. I don't think you can find a middle ground though realistically. Believers and non-believers are on such opposite sides of the spectrum I don't think it's possible. I appreciate the sentiment though.

That middle ground is called secularism. If we can agree on secular society, we're set, actually.
