Why does my family want me to be christian so much?

Do they think it will cure you of something? 

My parents were so brainwashed that they just didn't know any better or different.

Cure me of something? Like what? You know, I'm not sure why, since my parents themselves are actually converts. My mother's family is jewish and she is a non denominational Christian. My father has eastern religious beliefs that are a little complicated to explain briefly but he is a monotheist, and I'd actually say he's a pretty religious person, although doesn't believe in hell. He came from a secular background and started believing in god after taking LSD (no joke!) Converts are often the most ardent believers.

I'm not really sure their motivation for pushing their beliefs on me from time to time, other than that they are true believers and think it to be true. With my mother, I just promote atheism if she gets too pushy.
