What do you think?

So since I've been growing and learning more about my faith, and Christ, there's been a lot of discussion at my church around the idea of preaching to others.

This conflicts me greatly, as I've said in the past, I used to be Christian in name only and used to very much live by "to each their own" "live and let live" etc etc. of course now I've come to actually follow the beliefs I once claimed, I understand we as a people want to give as many people a chance as we can to come to know Christ.

My question is this, all those who don't believe, I'm really curious, if you believed there was a chance we were in fact correct, and we by all means could be,

What would you see as worse?
1. Christians pushing more and more to try and convince and convert more and more people?

2. Or, if Christians , with all our beliefs in that
You need to follow Christ to be saved, if we just excluded ourselves as a religion, and kept to ourselves?

I ask because I by all means want to give as many people a chance to know Christ as I do,
But I also remember those feelings of just wanting to keep my beliefs to myself and not really caring what others believed or wanting to bother others(I was not the nicest person lol 😅)

Edit: sorry I think I wrote this poorly, I'm not trying to claim or imply anything religious, I'm more asking a question around being made to make a choice you don't want to make, or being in a situation where your not even aware about a choice to Begin with (basically getting a bad end without being told a bad end exists)

Humans always make the error of trying to impose their interpretation of whatever they think their chosen deity or prophet meant by trying to interpret a particular book or philosophy with no evidence of fact that it's the meaning that was meant.

Mankind has yet to evolve beyond the idea that 'if you believe exactly as i do, you'll be safe. The rest are off to Hell.

I think that's half the problem. This concept of Heaven and Hell.
