Actually, many of them are very insecure in their beliefs, and are hoping that you will either agree with them, or be converted to their way of thinking. That way they feel validated for their beliefs.
The ones who are most secure in their beliefs and faith DON'T go around talking about it to others. They "keep the faith" as it were, in their hearts. For them, God knows of their faith, and that's all that matters.

They are preaching.
Now SPIRITUAL people (rarely are they religious) will share themselves with you and not their religious crap and will allow you to share as well.
Ignore the religious, they are clueless. Learn about sprituality the real deal. Read an article by this enlightened dude

westcydr presents an excellent analogy, and I think it's more truthful than any of the responses here so far.
Religious people think they are open-minded... but they're only open-minded about their OWN opinions.

The same reason a used car salesman does not want you to try to sell cars to him...
