yesI think that's the part I don't like
a new king turns up and has his own religion "my subjects are now [x]" of course all the right minded followers of [y] will be "I can't do that! I will offend my deity[ies] if I do not follow the one true way"
"you will if you want to stay alive"
I suspect more have suffered with forcing one religion over another belief, than have suffered from forcing athiesm
oh my, an opinion without researched factual basis!*
*and unlikely to be proven wrong
