<<<<I am happy to let atheists and agnostics (and the non-religious or whatever other term you wish to use) believe and practice what they want, as long as they let me believe and practice what I want.>>>>

Now there lies a conflict of interests. Your religion or rather your belief system basically says keep your thoughts to yourself unless they are specifically asked for. Now on the other hand Christians feel it is their duty to fulfill the great commission that Jesus set forth.

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Now since there is a conflict in opinion it only stands that one belief must be violated if the other is to be accomplished. Now I doubt that Christians come knocking on your door more than once every two or three years inviting you to attend church with them. Of course I can't say the same for JW's and Mormons, a lot of that depends on where you live. Personally I don't mind anyone coming to my door trying to share their beliefs with me because it gives me a good opportunity to witness the Gospel of Jesus Christ to them.
