A lot of people love to express and talk about their opinions in lot's of different ways about lots of different things. But then I have noticed that many times if in online or in the real world when a Christians expresses their idea's or feelings they have, now I don't mean hateful kind but I mean just casual kind people will often say "Stop trying to shove Religion down my Throat." Now first off why would someone feel religion is being shoved down their throat if it is only suggested? I'll tell you why. Because they themselves feel judged by Christians. Having religion shoved down their throats really means that they feel obligated to live up to higher standards than they are used too or comfortable with. They are defensive because they literally feel attacked by the mention of being Christian or Christian beliefs. This being said, it is wrong Atheists to tell Christians they may not express their feelings, unless they are being directly hurtful. If you are so uncomfortable about someones opinion that is not your own while I am sure you often loudly express your own opinion that you can leave the conversation instead of asking someone to leave by bias pretenses. Just because you don't like it does not mean it is wrong for Christian opinions to be shared just like it is okay for your opinions to be shared. That is a huge part of being an adult, listening to things you might not be completely comfortable with because you are better than the person who covers their ears going "Stop shoving religion down my throat!"
