My mom tended to worry excessively about what other people thought about us, and the criteria for their evals would have been in regards to bible stuff.
I've come to learn over the years that quite a few folks around here might have been a little more worried about what my mom thought about them.
I wasn't allowed to play with a couple of my cousins because their mom was divorced and remarried, she wasn't allowed in our house either. We did attend family get togethers if she was present though. I don't recall too much angst from mom over other people going to the wrong church though, except for the standard line about JWs and LDSers being in deep shit with the Lord.
My BiL was pretty religious, but didn't try to proselytize. He'd connected with Jesus later in life after some serious problems and realized he probably wasn't the one to be getting too aggressive with folks outside his (former) peer group of dopers and worse.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
