How do you "force your beliefs on others".

Legislation. Nothing says "I don't want you to do what I don't approve of" like working to get a law passed against it. Look at Prohibition in our country, or the many dry laws.

Well, then, I looked at them and noticed that presently we have a law on the books that says you can kill babies. Presumably, using your standards implicit in your argument by analogy, that law arises out of someone’s religious traditions and should therefore be abolished.
