      He married her and he wants her to convert, but there’s no reason to think that he married her for the purpose of converting her.

          Thats contrary to the basis of Islam and Christianity, which explicitly have always been about conversions.

          Christians believe their God cares about and wants them to try to save everyone, they believe following the Christian God is the path to everlasting happiness, that’s where the evangelism comes from- even when it takes a cruel form it is at least in theory a good intent(in practice of course often not).

          Muslims believe their God wants all people to recognize and submit to the truth of himself, and that spreading this message is a duty.

            It is possible for religions to be factually wrong, or even morally wrong.

                Yes, absolutely. I would never deny that.

                The day christianity dies out will be a happy day.
