I'm a very religious person, I'll say that right now, but then again, one of the central tenets of my religion (Wicca) is that we shouldn't proselytize, simply because there is no need. When you don't have any beliefs condemning others for not believing as you do, the motivation for "spreading the Word" so to speak, sort of goes out the window. Hell, there are debates on other boards as to whether it is ethical to raise their children as Wiccans at all, for it may interfere with their own spiritual development. Self discovery is very important in our religion, however, that doesn't mean we won't discuss it, or try to dispel misconceptions, but its a far cry from writing a book that people have a choice to ignore, or putting up an educational flyer at a college, than going door to door "saving" people.
