Religious hypocrisy

I have a problem with the hypocrisy of religion.

Observe:

"Love is a choice. Love often hurts. Choose to love regardless because it hurt Christ to love you. Funny fact, when you love like that, you'll probably also get hurt lol. Increase my faith Lord. Oh and after you get hurt, go back to Jesus for healing :) He will provide yo!"

"God is God through it all. God is good through it all. God is above every situation. Praise be to his name. Get me through God."

"Hey guys, I don't think I've been in this much pain for so long, please pray for healing! Even though this momentary affliction is temporary and fleeting, it hurts. Prayers would be muchhh appreciated guys =] Rev. 4:1."

These are excerpts of Facebook status updates from just one person in the space of two days. Needless to say, he does this a lot.

Facebook is a public forum, and clearly he is advertising his religious views here. In overkill. With every single status.

Let us think for a minute.

If an atheist did this with the same assumption of truth regarding the existence (or lack thereof) of an all-powerful deity (let's say, to a mixed audience), would he/she not be condemned by the religious of hubris, arrogance and lack of consideration for theists? Would it not be held in little esteem, instead rejected as crass and an attack against all religion? Why is it that it is socially acceptable for theists to advertise their views in public, and not atheists?

What's your opinion on door to door bible pushers? Sure, they are an annoyance, but still bordering on the fringes of social acceptance at the worst. Now, if a person decided to preach door to door about the Flying Spaghetti Monster, is it that much of a stretch of the imagination to assume possible danger and abuse hurled at them by residents, screaming that they will go to hell?

An atheist may politely declare their lack of interest and close the door on bible-pushers (at least, I do - I don't really wish to generalise, but let's consider this on a balance of probabilities), whereas do you not think that if I were to go around saying God does not exist, theists would automatically begin defending their religion by attacking me with phrases condemning my lack of faith?

Can you think of any theists who would not do this?

Are they so paranoid about the relevance of their religion that they feel the need to convert everyone around them to think the same way?

Honestly, it sickens me - not religion (although I do feel it is counter productive and archaic in a progressive society, however everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I definitely do not wish to take this away), but the hypocrisy on which it is based.

To sum up: "A Christian wouldn't ever be expected to be silent about their views, and they would never accept being told otherwise, so why should I be treated any differently?"

However, I am confident that society is becoming increasingly secular and that perhaps in the future, religion will be reduced to merely an absurd, archaic, irrelevant superstition, similar to how witchcraft is held nowadays.
