Pushing your idea of belief on me

At the bottom of countless news stories (or Digg article) on some religious topic there is always some comment that says:

I don't want you to push your beliefs on me.


Are they pushing their own ideas on me? I assume they believe that their ideas are correct...

Whats the different between their ideas and someone's belief?

Is belief and ideas the same?

Is making any statement (declarative, interrogative, or any other) a belief or an idea?

Is it possible to express an idea or belief with a series of questions? :)

Why won't people realise that whatever system they pull down, they bring their own one up?
