Absolutely! I mean, where's the free agency. How do we learn anything if it's rammed down our throats? I would hate the idea of "You
will do this or I'll tan your backside for all eternity".
I go more for the free will. You know, "you have a choice, each choice has consequences. Deal with it ."(me, I mean).
Personally, I don't give two hoots what religion someone is, as long as they're nice to me!
