Genesis 1:24-28; Genesis 2:15-25
“The only way for another created being to take over the humans’ role as the God-designated rulers on the earth is to create a rift between them and God.”

So is that why those with faith are urged to persecute unbelievers like me?
That is not what is urged. We are urged to try to help others get reconnected to the one God who loves and made them (starting with believing (in) Him, I suppose); ideally by loving them (appropriately! 😉 ). Unfortunately, many of us have an immature faith and/or misunderstand what is at the core of this form of belief. And…some of us haven’t given up our idol of “being right.”
I would argue that there are also atheists who are equally obnoxiously “proselytizy” for their own worldview. (Have experienced such–though not from you, friend.)
