Why is that humans always try to FORCE their beliefs on everyone else - both
governments and religions?

Bold Congregations Risk Official Wrath

WENZHOU, China -- A new breed of churches in this region of China has
demonstrated a boldness and independence unmatched elsewhere in the
country, despite strict government guidelines for places of worship.

Here in Wenzhou and the surrounding province of Zhejiang, just south of
Shanghai, a growing number of congregations that began life as house
churches -- unauthorized places of worship set up in private, often
dilapidated homes -- have recently registered with the government,
while continuing to spurn the rules of the official Protestant church
in China. Like so many institutions in China, these churches now hover
in a sort of legal netherworld.
