“My religion doesn’t let me do xyz” - fair nuff, respekt
“My religion doesn’t let you do xyz” - fuck off
Unfortunately they believe that their god will punish everyone (them included) even for other people’s misconduct in the community. Ancient Judaism has this principle and the old testament is full of examples of this, but this caused no big harm outside the Jewish community because it only applies to “the elected people” and not to everyone in the world. The problem started with Christianity, more in detail with St. Paul’s doctrine of ecumenism, which extended to everyone this dangerous belief. With consequences we are still paying 2000 years after.
I’m Jewish clergy, and I wholeheartedly agree with this message. I can’t stand people who jam beliefs down people’s throats, and I vowed to never do so in the communities I serve.

Yeah, this is what bugs me the most to be honest. Believe in whatever, we can discuss it, your beliefs, mine, etc., bit don’t try and make me a believer.
Believers are always expect respect but never respect any other beliefs and most of the case they won’t see you as a human being
I used to be ambivalent to proselytising but eventually I realise that it makes the proselytising religion have superiority complex. They basically tell you that “you’re not good enough until you join us”, especially with the Christian rhetoric that you’re a sinner and could only be saved by becoming Christian. I’m not sure about Islam but they also proselytise like Christianity does.
Sorta just sounds like society in general
But everybody does that. The basis of the belief makes no difference. Religion, politics, even science.
Give a man a truth and you’ve given the man a license to be an asshole.
