If not, would forcing your religion on someone be a good thing?

Im not saying its good, im just asking, if so many say its not, then why do world leaders even think of it?

And the question of passing it down to children, does that count as being forced?

Oh yes, before we go there, im not singling out any religion. It is probably done, at some point, in every one of them.

Forcing anyone to do anything is a wrong and unforgivable thing. Let people pick and choose what to believe without someone influencing them.

your facts are in error. I will pretend that I have a religion that states 1+1=3. Clearly that can be logically disproven. Most people have a religion which honestly is not much harder to disprove. But i will leave that aside for now. Since the example is not technically impossible, theres no reason to claim as fact that religion cannot be logically disproven.

Forcing religion on someone is never a good thing. Forcing my religion on someone would not be good, because true conversion has to be done willingly. The person must willfully accept the religion, in my opinion, for it to matter.

Forcing a religion on someone is never a good thing. If someone doesn't come to believe in God on their own, then they don't have true faith, so what would the point be?

No, because you are interfering with people's free will. It is up to the individual whether they want to accept a certain religion or not, and if they are forced into it, they are not really accepting it. I would never try to force someone to be a Christian, because you can't. It is a free will choice that you have to make.

No, forcing a belief on a person that doesn't want to believe is a waste of energy. But, as in a theocracy it is best to at least follow the rules for that theocracy even if you don't believe or leave it.

It's not even a real thing. If someone professes a religion because the alternative is to submit to violence, he is not a believer, he's just a subject, a victim. How can that be a real religion?

No, no, no! You cannot force religion, or faith, on someone. You can force them to say they believe, but that's different. It is never a good idea to force your beliefs on someone.
Let's face it, force is almost never good! I've got a friend who is actually a member of the Flat Earth Society! Duh! It's round, just accept it! We all know it. However, I'm not going to beat him over the head until he agrees with me. We just disagree! That's life.

it's not a good idea to force religion on someone bc imo if u do that all that's gonna happen in the future is the person is going to rebel and that's not good at all.

No! Absolutely not.
I get that from my parents and it only makes me want to get away from it even more. They are pushing it in my face. I hate it.
Religion is a personal choice, and it does not have to be an organized religion.
I find that hypocrisy is rampant in forced religion.

No, because people need to make that choice themselves. What's the point of forcing your religion? Religion shouldn't be treated like advertising.
