Oh, I agree, and I think you'll find it hard to find a post of mine mocking someone's religious beliefs. Having said that: perhaps it's an indication of how miffed people get at having beliefs forced on them.

I think by proportion children of Islamic families are more likely to be "forced" into religion than those born into christian familes who a large proportion of do not see the insides of a church at all

There's a difference between learning about and forced. I don't object to religious education, but other than that I think religion has no place in the school. And you're probably right that proportionally, more children have Islam forced on them, but that was not the point I was making. More people will come into contact with Christianity when they have no desire to do so.
Incidentally, I've never had a Muslism door knocker
