<I can't think of any religion that doesn't impose their beliefs on somebody, can you?>

Well, one of the interesting things in the PBS special on Jesus was that the Romans, who governed Jerusalem in Jesus' time, believed in complete freedom of religion. The Roman pagans at the time were very accepting of others' religious beliefs.

So yes, I can think of examples where religions do not impose their beliefs on others. I guess the Boy Scouts would not be a good example of freedom of religion, however!

I am not belittling Christianity, incidentally.
