So two guys, who are members of a given religion, are discussing their 
faith's holy writ (whether the Bible, the Quran, Origin of Species, 
etc.) during their lunch break at work.  Someone who does not share 
their ideas is sitting at the next table.

Let us also say that the local government is hostile to the religion of 
the two fellows holding the discussion.  So the third fellow can shut 
them up by accusing them of attempting to convert him.

Your position is a recipe for systematic oppression.

Regards,
John
