I AM not normal! According to G K Ryland (You Say, Monday, July 14) any person who is part of a religion is not normal.

It angers him when people who have faith in a religion try to press it upon him. I sympathise - I am a practising Church of England Christian and it can sometimes irritate me when others try to press their religion upon me.

I can also see that atheism is a kind of religion, as it is a belief, and I would never try to force Christianity on to anybody.

There was a man called Jesus alive and crucified about the time of the Roman occupation in Israel. It is then up to you whether you believe if he is the Messiah.

As a Christian, it angers me when others criticise my beliefs and try to force their beliefs on to me.
