Forcefully expressed opinions may also be done in a polite & intelligent way. In some cases it is just someone's style to be rather forceful.....doesn't mean they are not intelligently presenting their argument.
I've found it seems that way , especially when someone disagrees w the point being made.....
Some folks from all walks believe if something is said loudly it will be more correct...ah well.......

After reading your question, I am taking a guess that, at some point in your life you were involved in some sort of discussion with a "religious" person and felt like they were being too forceful, and hence...you walked away feeling hurt, threatened, or offended. Well...whoever treated you that way, I will apologies on their behalf. Our goal is not to make you feel bad or forced to believe something. What we really want is for people to realize that we HAVE made mistakes, ones that have earned us death...but there's a way that God has given us to be saved from that death. We as Christians (or "religious people") are pumped that we have found this way to be saved, and we're eager to tell other people so that they too may be saved. Sometimes, we CAN come on strong when telling people this...but its only because we want the rest of the world to feel is incredible feeling that we are engrossed in daily. That's why we can be excited about it sometimes...but its only because we don't want you to miss out.

And why do some people - like you - insist in lumping all religious people in the same category? I always try to be polite and intelligent, regardless of the topic of conversation. Wouldn't rephrasing your question to read "Why do SOME religious people..." represent a fairer statement? Or would that diminish the snottiness you intended to inflict on all people of religion? What? Am I being forceful? I tend to do that when I get forced into one tiny, little box...

I think it is because it is ingrained into their very being, genes, DNA, etc...., that Christians were violently persecuted at one point in time. So, whenever they feel they are not getting their point across, a red flag goes up in their mind and their psyche, and they feel they have to be more forceful to let the so-called unbeliever know, "Hey this is what's going to happen if you don't acknowledge God!!!!!!!!!!!"
I kind of feel sorry for them when I see this happen, because it can work against their cause, instead of for it.

That is an overgeneralization. To see how I (a religious person) answered a recent question, read: "Am I an Abomination?" Then come back and tell me that every religious person does what you said they do and all non-religious people are polite and kind. You won't be able to do it.

You've met the wrong ones. First of all, it's not about a point and it's not about religion. It's about WHO we know! It's about relationship. Religion kills but relationship gives life. Relationship requires everything of you. It requires that you love unconditionally and that you DO what Jesus did-- not just talk about it. In relationships people fail but God's grace, mercy and love cover those failures...in other words, He doesn't remind you of them or rub your face in them. I'm truly sorry that you haven't met those of us who aren't perfect but love God and try to live according to His standards. We can't do it on our own strength, we do it day by day, moment by moment with His help.......

Because generally the questions asked of them are intended to insult them, sway them away from their faith, or ridicule their faith. When I'm asked a legitimate question, it's answered politely. But when it's obvious the person asking the question has an agenda, I may not be so polite in my response to them.

I just think that these religious people that you are referring to often think that the other person is going to go to hell so in order to try and prevent them from eternal damnation they forcefully try to get their point across.

Probably because that's the only way they know how. Either that or they are not very polite or intelligent.

please don't think all are like that. a lot are, but there are some genuine that want to hear the other side of the story.
some people are selfish and don't care about the other person. all they want is to get their point across.
