No.
Unfortunately, many people of faith sincerely believe that they have a duty to help "save" their fellow human beings. Whether or not they are right in this belief is irrelevant; they believe in what they are doing so they will continue to do it.
Only when the average human IQ reaches about 135 will we no longer be collectively blinded by faith.
Don't hold your breath for that to happen anytime soon. The first sign of improved societal intelligence, however, will be a steadily declining membership in all organized religions. Would Jesus blow his Wednesday evenings at a Bible study? I don;t think so. He'd either help his neighbor fix his fence, or he'd go bowling with the boys.
Uh, oh...starting to ramble. Sorry.
The answer to your question is, no.
Good Luck!

All those years ago in sunday school (When I did go to church) they told us that in the bible that we shouldn't force others to accept a faith they were not willing to fully embrace. I stil get the "find salvation through jesus", but I tell them that I believe Jesus was a messenger and that I should only find salvation through God. I have refused to follow misguided people into a faith that believes that following a man is the way to God.

No, we didn't. In case you didn't notice, the statistics used in the analysis of the tomb were far from conclusive, and were extremely biased.
I'm an atheist and even I can see that the whole 'jesus tomb' discovery is totally invented. A few real artifacts were combined with downright bad statistics to come to a hoax of a conclusion.

Yeah - actually the Bible warns christians about that numerous times...
There are more passages in the Bible to suggest that they leave us alone then there are to preach to us...
Here's one:
If any man think himself to be a prophet or spiritual,
let him acknowledge that these words I write are the words
Of the Lord.
But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
1. Corinthians 14. 38

Jesus was never lost, but He did come to find all of us.

If you're referring to His alleged "tomb," better catch up on your reading. The archaeologist in charge of the dig has said repeatedly that the tomb is not that of Christ.
