I would have to say you’re an idiot. What does proselytization mean to you? That’s just a word non-religious people have dreamed up - truth is, God requires us to witness to others. Plain and simple. That’s why we’re here. And what does pestering others mean? Suggesting they look at another point of view?

Interesting updates to wiki for the term.

Removed:

Views on the propriety of proselytism, or even [[evangelism]], differ radically. Some feel that freedom of speech should have no limits and that virtually anyone, anywhere should have the right to talk about anything they see fit. Others see all sorts of evangelism as a nuisance and an intrusion and would like to see them proscribed. Thus, Natan Lerner observes that the issue is one of a clash of rights - the right of a person to express his views versus the right of a person not to be exposed to views that he does not wish to hear.

Added:

Christianity.
