Insecure people grasp at "belief" hoping for security. It rattles their beliefs when they encounter someone who isn't so dependent.

They suffer from that mass delusion that they are right. You may be glad to know the numbers are dwindling. Churches will resort to cardboard cutouts soon. They are all welcome to try with me. I go for their throats.

They think it is their job to bring you to God. Both sides do this, but more so the Christians. I don't try to persuade people either way. A person's beliefs are their own. I respect that.

If you already made up your mind, then just stand firm with your belief. What other people tries to do is their business.

Because faith in a religion makes a lot people either feel superior (so they shove it in your face) or they genuinely believe so they want to share their beliefs with others (which can come off as aggressive sometimes). I personally don't belong to a religious institution but believe in God. But you are right, you have a right to believe in whatever you'd like to believe so long as you are not inflicting harm on others in the process. There are many Atheists in this world today so feel free to not believe in God if you don't want to - just remember not to shove your beliefs in others' faces either!

That's good always keep an open mind and question everything. It is easy to be led astray. I don't believe in organized religion but have a strong faith in God But that is my choice and I respect your choice as well

Many people find comfort and purpose believing in some kind of benevolent deity. Some of them may have had their whole lives turned around for the better due to their beliefs. They are trying to convince you that god exists not because they are trying to annoy or irritate you, but because they what you to experience the same kind of comfort and purpose that they derive from their belief. This of course does not mean that their belief in god has any basis in reality, but they are good people and they should be respected.

You are an adult, the choice belongs to you, just remember that almost all choices come with a price that will be paid, even when we did not expect the price to be so high.

Because their beliefs are self-reinforcing; "if you don't believe what you happen to believe, you'll suffer". I'm sure Richard Dawkins would say it's an excellent adaptation in a meme - they can't afford to imagine their belief is wrong, because of the very nature of that belief.
By extension, they also worry about anybody else who openly denies that belief, on the entirely benevolent grounds that they don't want someone to suffer for what appears to them to be sheer ignorance. If you saw a kid who refused to believe that jumping off a cliff was dangerous, their insistence that they have a right to find out for themselves wouldn't convince you.Like (1)

I know what you mean...you don't need to believe in anything spiritual....but they still feel they have to try and convert you.
