As long as you're not advocating that we should beleve as you, and as long as you're not telling us about all of the consequences we will be receiving for our failure to follow your religion, you can speak of your beliefs all that you want. Just try to keep it descriptive and not prescriptive.
No, religion is culture so I wouldn't expect others to adopt MY culture. And there are no consequences whether you adopt one religion/culture or another. There is no heaven and no hell, no soul and no afterlife, no flying winged beings, etc. Come on, winged beings are what very young children believe in together with a belief in Santa Claus.
