I am Christian (disciple of christ, which is not such a conservative denomination), and sometimes I find it upsetting when others try to manipulate other or chide them for not believing what they believe. First year of college I joined fellowship group, became good friends with them. Later I figured out that the group was much more traditional than I had thought, and I could tell that they were trying to change some of my beliefs and behaviors, such as my support of homosexuals. After I realized that most of these people didn't like me for me, I left.
It is really disappointing when people you thought you trusted turn out to be using you. But not all Christians are like that. Christians come in an insane amount of varieties. Try not to take it personally if Christians get upset with you. If they weren't brought up to be tolerant of people with other beliefs, that isn't necessarily their fault, they just might not know any better.
I'll tell you that I try to be rational, reasonable, and open-minded when I talk to people about religion. I don't think our morality comes from God. And I don't chastise people for not believing in God. My faith is more of a private thing than anything else. But the one thing I'm not okay with is when people try to use religion to manipulate others or try to forcefully change what they believe. You don't get someone to believe in Christ by telling them that they are going to hell and everything they do is wrong. And yet some people actually do this. It amazes me.
