Some religions believe that they should proselytize as many people as possible, so really not letting them convert you is disrespectful to their beliefs.
I agree that there’s a difference, but I’m not sure a simple argument like this really works since it is difficult to say one belief is ‘better.’
Proselytizing: You can say no without repercussions.
"Forcing Their Beliefs:" You have to follow the religion or you will face legal/societal consequences.
Not really the same thing at all though is it?
Also bit of a weird constructed example. A faith like that can only lead to it's followers taking offense or religious totalitarianism.
Which is not something I'd engage with so idk why i would tolerate something so intolerant.
The comparison is also kinda failing since one is a belief and the other isn't.
A more fitting comparison would be ostracising someone for their faith vs insisting to misgender someone despite better knowledge.
