I think it is absolutely unnacceptable, this proselytizing of people that has been going on for quite some time. I am sick of people who look down on each others' faiths, and at the same time spend alot of effort preaching to the faithless.

In a free society, one should be allowed to practise a faith of his own free will, and not be co-erced into it. If you wish not to take up the faith of your parents, does that give them a right to disown you? Is it wrong for two people of different religions to get married, and still practise their separate faiths, and not let it get in the way of the relationship?

Traditions are traditions, but they should not suppress one's freedom of thought or opinion.
