Only if their open to it.
Pushing your opinions on people who dont want to listen is annoying.
Ask any jehovahs witness, they must know the contempt people feel for them, but still out they go.
Youve got to admire the boneheaded shit for brains for that, it must be hard.
I think 'pushing their opinion' is an exaggeration of what Mormons do in my opinion. They come to your door and ask some questions and give you a piece of paper you can read or throw away. You decide whether or not you want to open the door or tell them to go away. What you and tavarish seem to calling 'pushing your opinion' is comparable to the rejection of any atheist propaganda such as atheist banners on buses. We are 'selling' an idea every time we try to help theists overcome misconceptions about atheism.
