Jesus may not have tried to force his message, but his followers did - as a side note Christianity was brought to my country by the edge of a sword. You either went with the program or the head came off (this was the Viking era mind you).
When it comes to religion I think something said in the movie Dogma comes to mind. "All the religions on earth is close to it, but they all try to explain it" or somesuch, I am paraphrasing badly here, but the general gist was all religions have something to offer, they just try to explain it in human terms and thus get it wrong, the Idea is still right. (am I making any sense here?
)
Anyhoo, as long as its a peaceful thing and you are 99.9% that nothing bad will happen then I don't really see the problem with standing there.
