You hear the same kind of thing about atheists. Consider that the few outspoken individuals you meet who are like this are rare and most people in that group are just quietly trying to live their lives. They're not seeking an argument or your approval, and you aren't even aware of most of the people you know who fit into that group. So your known encounters with that group are rare, and you carry your own personal bias, so any negative experience is magnified.
- DoreenMichele 8y agoI cannot think of a single atheist who ever tried to convince me I was required to join them in being an unbeliever. I don't try to cram my beliefs down their throats, they don't try to cram theirs down mine, IME. On the other hand, I grew up in the Bible Belt and have known plenty of hellfire and damnation type Christians who wanted me to convert or die.
