Why won't religious people just let atheists live in peace?

Why do religious people have to try to force atheists to believe in their values? It isn't nice, it isn't an act of kindness. We just want to be left alone.

    Its true its not right.some Christians force it on others, but some Christians just don't want the atheist to end up in eternal damnation where the fire quenches not........but here's a scripture James 2:19 KJV

    Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.......................... Even demons know there's is a God and become afraid asst the name of Jesus. And also Jesus gave us a choice to serve him but sometimes the choice we make will affect us after, life such as not believing.

    @Overly Attached Girlfriend - Yes, and anyone is free to talk about religion. It isn't called the ''Religious People Only'' category.

    The major reason is that your belief has serious eternal consequences. An eternity without God is nothing like an atheist believes. We want you to enjoy eternity with Him the way we are going to do. Christ gave the Christian church only one directive: to go and preach the gospel to all the world. We are told that if we do not tell you about Christ's love and sacrifice, your damnation will be accounted to us. We mean well, and that is in every sense of the word!

    Their religions often encourage them to try to get others to join.
