That you become angry [at someone having a different world view] reveals your intolerance and immaturity more than anything about them.

Very good point Padriac but definitely not what I meant! I'm not getting pissed of with them because of their believe in God but rather for the girl not believing in herself and them wasting their time. I agree with you that people should have freedom to pick whichever religion they want. I'm pissed off because I was a devout Christian once. Wasted a lot of time practicing it and I wish that someone told me earlier
Let me give you some more examples re my first post.
Imagine this: you've just boarded the tube on your way to work. It's a lovely crisp clear winter's morning and you actually managed to find a spare seat. So you sit down and you're just about to read your favourite article in the morning paper when suddenly a radical Christian preacher with a bible under his arm start shouting at the top of his voice that Jesus is your saviour...doesn't this piss you off?
What about when some Christians judge you and belittle you?
What about getting a hiding just because (as a kid) you went playing instead of going to church?
