to think religion should be a private matter not forced onto other people

Basically I was at a toddler session in the local town hall (not church hall) which I regularly go to and normally has no religious songs etc.
Towards the end of the session a couple turned up with puppets and set up a stand to do a show. Not recognising them I didn't twig this show would have a religious slant so I stayed for it.
After a very boring and moralistic show about a boy who didn't do as he was told and could therefore not have any ice cream there was a talk about following the bible and some songs which mentioned god etc.

AIBU to think people should keep their religion to themselves and not try to ram it down my throat when all I want is a cuppa and a chat with some other mums?

It's not a moral I want my DD to learn. What you see as being well behaved I see as blindly following what people in authority tell you to do and I also dislike food being used in this way i.e. withheld for 'bad' behaviour.
It's irrelevant whether I liked the show really though as it was preaching something I don't beleive in and was thrust on me without any warning.
I don't have a problem with people holding beliefs other than mine, I just wish they would do it privately.
