I guess it would depend on what your motive is for feeling the need to "pry" or "talk an individual out of" thier religion. Does it involve rituals of hurting the self or others or animals or committing immoral acts, breaking laws? Otherwise, I guess if that person's involvement in what ever it is that s/he is doing is disrupting your relationship, s/he may have to make a decision to choose which is worth keeping, and/or if there can be a compromise made. I guess if I had more details I would feel I was giving you a more complete answer. Hope this helps some.

Well, look at it from the other perspective. If you could be converted to religion by someone saying 'hi', would you want them to talk to you? Would you consider the change fair, or right? Most likely not.
Why would you want to, anyway? Everyone is entitled to their beliefs. What right do you have to take the moral high ground and insist that others change for you? Are you the kind of person that goes around telling kids that santa clause dosen't exist or that mommy isn't really watching them from heaven?

In America people are free to believe as they will. As long as they are not using their beliefs to undermine the government or to intimidate others that don't believe the way they do. Anyone trying to convert someone is most likely a cultist and should be watched very carefully. Think about it. If they have to "sell" their beliefs to you then how authentic could it be?

People are free to believe what they want to believe. Trying to make them change their beliefs is immoral under any circumstances. I certainly don't appreciate the weekly visits I recieve from Jehovas Witnesses trying to get me to change my faith! Who's to say what the right religion is anyway? People should concentrate on their own beliefs and leave others to get on with theres!!!

No, I don't think it would be moral, at least not in all cases.
There is a woman at my office who is a dwarf and crippled. Her faith is very strong. It would be inhumane to deprive her of this source of strength since there is nothing medical science can do for her.
So, no.

-convinced, you've hit on a level I genuinely were suffering on for some years. i detect myself battling decrease back the urge to attempt to cajole believers of the unlikeliness of their perspectives. -What do I genuinely ought to grant? it really is sparkling to me that faith is an ethical help to lots of it really is followers. i have seen them comforted with the shortcoming of a teenager or pricey one in a fashion that my perspectives ought to were of little convenience. To others i comprehend it provides a experience of wish and purpose of their existence. All i ought to provide them is what so sparkling appears to be like the fact to me, that we are very on my own in this international and there is not any satisfied ending for us. -I liken my concepts in this to those I carry for toddlers which have self assurance in Santa Claus. their perception is often benign and on a similar time as they initiate to out strengthen it, they're frequently discovered clinging to it. toddlers conventional %. their own time to assert that they had suspected the fact and fortuitously flow into the more advantageous mature view of ways Christmas provides seem. -no longer all and sundry come to the point the position they're waiting to enable pass of the relax that their god provides them. They stay both in complete childlike faith, or that boarder floor of doubt, in a regularly risk free state of self fantasy. very almost all aren't from now on negatively effected by technique of this state, many even reaping benefits from there international view. -I reconcile myself by technique of being open with my perspectives. I answer questions, and could pleasantly educate falsies or contradictions in a believer's statements at the same time as they are not a count of prue faith, and they look receptive. I genuinely have genuinely replaced some minds. it really is a touch painful, from time to time biting my tongue, yet i have self assurance that i don't have the right to interrupt Christmas for all and sundry.
