B. Very definitely, B. I would never dream of trying to insist that people who believe in G-d should stop. But I do insist that they refrain from trying to proselytize to me about *their* G-d and *their* Bible and quit trying to convince me that I'm somehow eternally doomed if I don't believe exactly what they believe. And the fact that the biblethumping proselytizers all seem to be anti-gay (I'm lesbian) just makes their holier-than-thou attitude that much more intolerable.

B. People who believe in astrology, for example, aren't trying to forbid marriages between two Geminis.

The fact that people believe your question has an implicit assumption of the conjecture (A), and that they will self-delude themselves in thinking that if someone chooses (B), means they accept (A) as true.

B
Especially when laws which are catered to the "moral majority" do harm to people who don't conform. One example is medical marijuana use. I've been the caregiver for a cancer victim in her last days of life, and it might have been better for her to spend her last lucid days of life on THC rather than completely doped up and incoherent on increasingly heavy doses of morphine. The laws in my area prohibit medical marijuana, otherwise that might have been a legal possibility.

B. Pushing.
Believing in fairy tales is bad enough, but if you keep it to yourself, I can deal with it. Broadcasting it to the world is all around stupid and quite annoying. It opens the door for public ridicule and promotes arguments and fighting.
