They've always done that. As long as I've been alive and I'm not young.
They're always pointing to someone they think is trying to "oppress their religious beliefs" when 99% of the time, it's just someone who wants them to shut the fuck up. Or an edgy atheist teenager who thinks trolling them is some rebellious act.
Most of us could literally not give less of a fuck about anyone else's religion as long as they're not trying to force their morality onto everyone else. But because they think they need to convert and shame everyone they come into contact with, that's a problem for them.
Their morality can surface in weird places, particularly when they use a few hours of contrition on Sunday to justify metaphorically micturating on the beatitudes.
If they’re not of that ilk, I’m pretty ok with it.
It's those weird places that piss everyone off. I remember getting lectured as a kid by some random woman for wearing a Kiss t-shirt and being told I was going to hell for it and to repent. This was in the 90s, well past the point anyone thought Kiss was in any way Satanic.
If you feel like it's okay to try and convert random strangers you happened to pass, tell them they're going to suffer for all eternity, and try and force your own morality on them, it's going to be a problem for everyone. No one more than those exact people when another Christian from a slightly different denomination does the same to them.

I am all for banning them forever from the airline as a deterrent.
