If a Christian merely mentions religion, some atheists claim that they're having religion "shoved down their throats." I don't even know how to shove Christianity down a throat. References :
At least with Christianity you can leave if you want. If you try to leave Islam you can be killed. It's blood in and blood out….like the mafia or a street gang. References :
What about the terrorists who keep trying to divert planes to 'paradise' alot of the bigger religions do it except Judaism they don't want anyone who isn't dedicated in their religion but the other bigger religions do it. References :
You are thinking of the other religions.
Christianity has nothing to do with cramming anything down any ones throats.
It is the religious people that are doing those things.
Christians are known by their love for one another, and all others! References :
First of all that let's note that this isn't true of all christians, that's a very radical line of thought. Second, I know plenty of crazy atheists who do the same thing. I feel I can say that, because I am an atheist, which makes it my job to continue to scrutinize myself, my beliefs, and that which I choose to associate my name with… because that is where I believe most men fail and hurt others in the process.
If it's christianity alone, and you are no part of it, then you can't control it, so don't dwell on it. You might try addressing someone's life purpose with a tone that is less offensive and see how that works out. I don't have a problem with christians, I don't like stubbornly self-righteous people who are willing to lie to themselves and everyone else because they refuse to admit to imperfection. That's inherently not part of christianity or it's teachings… that's something more human and sad, not a good place to be, not christianity's fault. References :
If you knew the truth then you too would want others to know. If someone were asleep in a burning building you would break the door in and go to them and shake them awake. Hell is like that for all of mankind. Some people have been shaken awake and are busy shaking others awake. References :
Islam is like that, Norse Mythology taught that unless you die in battle bravely you will go to boring dreary place full of pathetic sickly people and live a wretched afterlife References :
They actually need a relationship with a man, son of God, to explain to them how to be proper, and give hope and forgiveness b/c their families are too small to extend more people than parents (busy) or annoying siblings (hate you).
Your right. Christianity is the only religion that says if you don't accept their teaching and accept Jesus as your lord and savior you are going to burn in hell for all eternity.
Every other religion out there and every other person out there other Jews, Muslims, and the rest of the religious people other than a Christian following Christianity all believe that God will judge each and every person on what kind of life they led. Except of course for the people who don't believe in any God. References :
Atheist shove there religion into textbooks and say the earth is millions of years old. What better way to ruin child's faith then to lie in a textbook that there is not God. Then you get Islam and there convert or die. Same goes for many Catholics. References :
As far as religions go, Christianity is by far the most successful proselytizer, but Islam and Buddhism have historically also been quite successful movements. As for threatening non-believers with damnation, other religions are often not quite so prone to the fire and brimstone, although most mainstream Christian sects attempt to preach love and tolerance (like Jesus). Any number of religions, spiritual groups, and non-religious belief systems have decried the beliefs of others as leading to doom or eternal torture, but few are as well known for doing so as Christianity.

Well, let's see . . . "Secular" humanism forces our schools and libraries to cowtow to it and demands absolute, total domination of our childrearing and educational processes. Isn't that shoving beliefs down people's throats?
How about Islam?
How about the Hindu rioters in India who massacre Christians just for being Christian and call the police on the survivors?
How about Communists who demand that their religion must be the only one?
And as to Christianity, if someone is shoving it down your throat, that is not consistent with the Bible, but doing so with other religions IS consistent with their texts.
You are the intolerant one.
If not for your fallacious and hypocritical rant, Christianity might not even have been mentioned.

Christians don't always shove religion down peoples throats, and it's rude to generalize that. Modern day culture is to keep beliefs to yourself, and so when someone speaks out about their personal faith, they are immediately said to be a religion freak ready to damn everyone else to hell. That's not the truth at all. References :

no one is shoving any thing we are declaring what God has decreed in his word.
No one is forcing any one to believe or tying them up and saying believe or die.
if you choose not to listen that is up to you.
we have just as much freedom to say what we do just as you have just as much freedom to say we are wrong.
There is no force involved.

Can't blame Islam. blame people.
