First off I have no problem with Christianity, I am a Muslim but my family are Christians...
How do you handle the Christians that obsessively get in your face about How You Need To Accept Christ as Your Personal Savior and or Obsessively Relating Everything to Christ Dying For Our Sins?
I admire the good intentions of these Christians and how they are working to bring people closer to God but this gets obnoxiously disturbing real fast. I don't know too many people who feel comfortable discussing religion with thse Christians, this includes my Christian friends.

Well being a former atheist I would like to say that Christians were awesome people once I met the right sort. (the real ones) Their love for each other and for me is what helped draw me in so I have them to thank partially for my faith!
And I serioulsy doubt people are physically getting into your face in a threatening way threatening you with hell. If the idea of hell bothers you then perhaps you need to follow Jesus and do what he said in order to avoid it.
Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven -Matthew 10:32

I get the same feeling that I get when aggressive telemarketers call at inconvenient times trying to sell their dubious wares. Religion is a matter of choice. You can't do anything about the faith you are brought up in but by the time you learn to think for yourself, you are free to leave and join another faith or none at all. I find that religious people get turned off much faster if you tell them that you are an atheist than if you belong to another faith.

Before I was a Christian, I never had one get obsessively in my face. No, I wouldn't have liked that any more than a Muslim getting obsessively anything with me either.

I leave the room. Its easier than getting into a fight because they won't back off.
Heck, my sister and grandmother tried to start in on me today and I left. My stepdad said to me "Well I know how you feel about it and they did the wrong thing. They shouldn't have brought it up in the first place".
I wish Christians would get it and just butt out of other peoples lives.

My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. --John 18:36.

If you slap them in the face enough times they won't get in your face anymore.
In all seriousness, there's nothing you can do about it. It's like an incurable disease.
Find better friends/family.
