Religion should be something sacred to people, and broadcasting it and forcing it upon people seems like a pervision to me. If you believe in something, your own solitary faith in it should be enough without the need or want to convert everyone you see. If someone doesn't share the same view point as you, then move on and let them live their own lives and follow their own path.
Forcing ones views on other people has never worked in the course of history, and almost always ends up in bloodshed.

I cannot put it any more succinctly than jorgelito's post above mine.
People what to share what brings them happiness, whatever it is from driving a Saturn to listening to an iPod. Political ideas and religious ideas also fit into that same thing.
