This question is probably going to get pulled. But which way would you rather have society?Christians everywhere discussing their faith with you or some religion that would force you to give adherence to their beliefs.And wear clothes you don't like?

It actually a two way street. Christians want to push Jesus to save a person's soul. Unbelievers want to push evolution to lose a person's soul. Me I just answer questions according to what I believe is true to answer the question. Jesus said to tell people the "Good News" if they accept it then great, if they do not accept it then leave them be. True another Christian may come along to tell a person not realizing they already rejected Jesus. But, I figure most people in America have heard of Jesus and have made a decision. So, I really not have to convert anyone. What is interesting is people who say they not believe in God who come to a Religious section to push their disbelief, yet seem to whine that Religion is being pushed on them, Duh? That like going to the Cooking section and being offended by someone talking about Apple Pies.

I don't see why you think your question would be pulled. It's a bit naive, but it's not hateful or belligerent. Personally, I wish all people of faith would stop telling other people they're going to Hell and would stop trying to convert the rest of us. And don't fool yourself into thinking that Christians don't force us to adhere to their beliefs; the fundamentalists do everything they can to make sure the government is run the way they want it to be run.

This is what's known as a false dichotomy. Like if I wanted everyone to say they liked yogurt, I'd say, "Which would you rather eat: Yogurt, or cow poop?" It doesn't prove a thing.
Luckily, there's no such either/or choice. I prefer a society in which everyone is allowed to choose his own religion and everyone minds their own souls and respects other intelligent adults enough to let them do the same.

I get tired of people that put down others beliefs so that they can call attention to themselves; which is much worse than people trying to "save me". I'd rather have an army of Jehovah's Witnesses at my door that some DS that wore on like an old record trying to make somebody think he/she is clever.

Christians who talk to others about their faith, do so because they love their neighbor. It time to come, there will be a forced religion and no one will have a choice, so listen to the Christians now while there is still time.

Romans 10:14 -
14. How, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
We should consider ourselves blessed as recipients of the true Gospel of Christ (the live giving message). Next verse says - How can they preach unless they are sent. It is God who sent
His preachers.

Religion should "NEVER" be a forced thing ! And I'm Christian.
We should all have the freedom to choose what we want, and we should all respect each others choices.
