Why do theists refuse to accept that others have different beliefs than theirs and keep pushing their beliefs on others who have stated that they are not interested?

Because theism "feels" less true if there are any doubters.

Not something I do or have seen literally ANY other atheist do.
It is obvious that people have different beliefs from one another and from myself.

Another thing you appear to be imagining, particularly in real life. Here on the forum of course we are here specifically to discuss and debate matters relating to religion and spirituality. Unless and until this forum is closed to some points of view on those matters, such as atheism, then atheists will continue to voice their opinions. This is not "pushing beliefs on others" any more than your post here is pushing your belief on me.

Why is discussing topics viewed as "pushing beliefs on others" I wonder? I mean, it's a discussion forum. Aren't we here to discuss?

Discussing is fine, telling others that they will go to hell if they don't change their beliefs is a totally different approach known as pushing. If you can't see the difference you are part of the problem.

Open your eyes and actually try to comprehend the statement posted by some, not all, of the theist posters. It is not a matter of others having differing beliefs, it is the insistence that all others believe as they do. Claiming to not see this is just being dishonest with yourself.
