How religion is forced upon the society using coercive methods.

Readers might have noticed how religious people force their beliefs upon the society ? They play religious "music " so loud that even a deaf person can hear, they build temples illegally everywhere, including public places like parks and even government offices.
Religious parents force their children to become religious ( they tell their small children lot about religious delusions at an age when they are incapable of mentally distinguishing between reality and imagination ). Furthermore, becoming a slave of religion is almost a prerequisite for leading a " normal " social life. Young atheists like me find it very difficult, often impossible to find a life partner. Religion has BRAINWASHED humanity so much , that a non-brainwashed person finds it difficult to socialise.
Morover, religious people constantly keep advertising and proclaiming their religious delusions and nonsense , even if the other person is not interested in knowing. ( loudspeakers outside temples are one way for the marketing of religion, wearing holy thread on your wrist is another ) Religion tempts small children into its delusional beliefs by offering them sweets ( prasad ). Religious people keep asking whether the other person is observing rituals , fasts and other nonsensical practices of religion.
And trust me, whenever i have told people that i am an atheist, people have poked fun on me and/or tried to propagate their delusional beliefs to me, and often looked upon me as if i were a creature from a different planet ( you see, belief in a flying monkey or a virgin mother are a necessity for being an earthling )

Religious people not only actively propagate, but also force religion upon the society using illegal means. Take a stroll in any indian city and you would find illegally built temples at every corner.
One of the best blackmailing techniques religion uses to tame and " purify " atheists is weddings. Vast majority of marriages in india are caste based, and the weddings involve elaborate religious rituals, and even the dates are decided by an astrologer. This situation forces many young atheists to give up their principles and become a slave of religion , just like the majority of the public.
