A lot of people seeing thatare going to get confused about what it means to:
attempt to "insist".

I'll help out with that.

Forms of "insisting" include:
*Religious indoctrination of children,
*Any/every belief-system which includes an "or else" clause (even when that's not openly mentioned to prospective converts);
whenever that "or else" is a warning of your "God" killing, smiting, or torturing those whom deny or resist "His" authority (by denying or resisting yours).
*Supporting any person-or-group's efforts to push for laws or policies which would force others to yield to your "faith's" doctrines/beliefs about what your "God" wants; especially when those goals or demands runs counter to (anyone's) civil liberties, and/or contrary to what the best available science says in regards to impact on public health.
*Speaking to/ relating-to others
as if you're entitled to:
an unequal social footing, between yourself and anyone else,
on the (assumed, stated, or inferred) basis of divine moral authority.
Example:
"My words are the words of your God. I'm just a conduit or messenger. Therefore, if you *disagree with me, then you're disagreeing with your God.".
(or doubting, questioning, mocking, rejecting, dismissing, etc.)
