Most of us believe that everyone has the right to worship (or not worship) as they see fit.
That said, wouldn't most people, if they had the power to do so, have everyone believe as they do by waving their proverbial magic wand?

In answer to your original question: Not necessarily... I do believe that humans desire boundaries and firm limits to their behavior, whether they want to or not. Religion exploits that desire using the bible and the human's desire for answers to questions they have.
If I had the magic wand, I wouldn't wave it to require that everyone be a non-believer like me. I'd wave it that everyone accept that others don't necessarily believe as they do and that that's okay. Differences are good... demanding conformity isn't.

Never answer a question before it has been asked, such as . What are you doing, and what do you expect to receive from doing worship? I see you come to this same place most often on a chosen day. Why is this place so special for you?Why would you tell another soul of this place you have made special to you? Because, I believe this place has been chosen for many to stop and receive their daily needs met. But surely, may be the reply. Our needs were met when the King came through and this room is such a small space, why not give it to expand fitting all inhabitants here on earth, no matter where they stand the King shall be tall enough to see them all, and not just this tiny space where you may want to fit them all. Come brother, and sister. The King has made room for every one.

This is dangerous, but here goes nothing.
That is what the Catholic Church has been seeking for many centuries, and they're still trying... and they have a lot of blood on their hands because of it.
Our beloved country will fall for it. The world will fall for it. Then the end will come.
I don't seek it, because the Bible says that it will never happen.

Not me. I enjoy being a non-conformist.
If I had that magic wand, though, I would use it to get everyone to grow up on the subject of evolution. Creationists drive me crazy. Apart from that, I'd leave people alone.

Absolutely NOT!
I am Roman Catholic. There are 21 branches of my faith under the umbrella of the Holy See. It adds so much richness to my faith.
I love the good questions asked by Atheists here that help me give my brain a work out. I wouldn't change that.
I love my Pagan friends, my Jewish friends, my Muslim friends, etc...

Comfort in numbers, as they say. Everybody likes being the 'right' guy.
That said, may I add this quote?

I wouldnt, unlike christians, I do not want the entire world muslim at all costs. Its not my job. I believe you can worship whatever (or not) you want no matter if it makes sense or not. I would only want the ignorant lies about others beliefs to stop.

No way.
Fundamentalists are fundamentalists for a reason. I wouldn't want them in my religion.

Are you sure that's a wand you're waving?

No I would never want to force anyone to believe.
