The usual christian claim is that god does not want to force me to worship him, he wants me to choose to worship him.
Unfortunately for god, that is not how it works. Suppose that god actually turned up and demonstrated that he did in fact exist. What then? Well, I would accept that he existed. Worship him? Not even remotely.
The last part renders the part on evidence of existence irrelevant. And that's actually correct - as James notes, the demons believe in the existence of God, and shudder.
No, it doesn't.
