The 1st amendment to the constitution is "freedom of religion" not freedom to deny people from expressing their religious beliefs. (Its called freedom of speech, and expression, as long as it doesn't endanger anyone.)

I'm christian and I don't believe in forcing religion, don't actually think its possible to force it. You can't make anyone believe anything they don't want to believe. I completely believe in freedom of religion or from religion. Christians were told to spread the word and I'm pretty sure that's already done, so as far as I'm concerned, our job has been done for quite a while.

I see what you are trying to say. If the first amendment is freedom of religion, than why can we not have Christmas trees at an air port. The same goes for me. I ascribe to the religion of me. And my religion says that I can have and abortion, gay marriage and smoke pot. So, why are there laws against my freedom to express myself and my religion?

I've never seen anyone "forceing".
But Christians do try to pursuade because we fear for unsaved people's souls. We want people to experience the same God that we have and eventually end up in heaven with us!
It's not like politics where is someone doesn't agree with us they get somebody in office they dont' like, it's a matter of heaven and hell.
