Unfortunately these Organised, Abrahamic religions can never ever be in the realm of the Individual! Good Catholics even call themselves Evagalical Catholics!! So their very fundamental belief is that THEIRS is the ONLY GOD and they have to influence others to follow their belief systems. They do not accept others beliefs.
And in a country like ours with so much poverty, how difficult is it to influence/lure/guile/torture the underpreviliged to convert? The xian missionaries are notorious for their exploitation of the needy and destroying indigenious cultures all over the world. It has happened in the last 2000 years and will go on in future too.
Notice that Indic religions are very different -thats why we have so many GODs and so much diversity in rituals and beliefs. Had it not been for its superiority, India would have long been converted totally like it happened in Africa and South America.
Bottom line is - Like it or not, there is an open war between religions and anybody who thinks religion is a private affair is either easily gullible or is living in a cave.
