hiya I am from England when I was growing up nobody ever mentioned religion it was a truly private matter , but I would be of the view that they are indeed more aggressive in their agenda.- I have met vicars priests deacons nuns and all sorts of church related people when I was a lecturer in counselling and most were really funny and loving their time out so it obviously isn't everyone but there are some teachings I imagine that make for intolerance squared.

I lived in Alabama and they were set on converting me.I now live in NM which has a very heavy Catholic background. THere are still people here called Penitentes that whip themselves while making pilgramages carrying crosses. No one has bothered me
