I hear this statement a lot-I just wonder how it is done

They do it by trying to legislate their religious beliefs and making everyone of other religions or the non-religious live under them. I consider that the only way that it would be forced, otherwise I can just look at them and walk away.

It is true that SOME Christians do try and convert people. The problem is that Atheists seem unable to distinguish a minority from the majority. I hate the argument 'they're are always trying to force their beliefs on me', like every Christian has tried to convert you to their religion, its just stupid.

- The "religious right"'s attempts to control my life through unconstitutional laws.
- The fact that I have to seriously think about whether or not I want to tell someone that I'm an atheist.
- The fact that my country is at war for no reason other than the fact that "god told" the president to do it.
- The fact that if I were gay (I'm not but it still ticks me off) I would not have the same rights as everyone else in this country because of what some religious wack-jobs think about my sexual orientation.

you don't live in the bible belt.
people ASSUME you're a baptist. we cant have casinos and in some county's alcohol(which just fuels drunk driving)
there is this cult -type church call ed "quest community church" in my area and whenever they come into my work they always ask the employees and the customers about their religion and try to get them to come to their services (which are EVERY day by the way) they are the worst of the worst. they spend all of their donations on scams like giving people a "free gift" for joining the church.

I'll guess they believe Christians force their beliefs on them by making legistlation which is designed to enforce a Christian sense of morality.

That's what I would like to know! It would easier than persuasion, loving people, setting a good example, preaching, etc.
Ah, then there's that pesky free will thing!
As for lesgeslating morality, when you believe a thing to be right , you fight for it, or go home, and let the voters pick someone else.

I've never had one force their belief on me. Share yes, but force, no.

Belief cannot be forced. Not unless one is a vegetable. But then again, vegetables don't exercise faith.
