You can only say that if you hold that religion is essentially an invention of humans.
What if religion, or, from my point of view, Christianity, is not an invention of people but handed to us by God? How is it then merely one person trying to impose his will on someone else?
If it's from God, is it not reasonable for people to want to tell other people about it?
And as regards thinking first, plenty of Christians, including me, thought for a very long time before getting involved. There was a time when I was completely against religion of any kind. After a great deal of thought, reading and talking to other people, I am a committed Christian, and a Christian who believes the message is well worth sharing (I say sharing, not imposing - anyone who tries to impose Christianity has missed the point).
