People in a church are mostly there because if their free will.

Those evangelizing do not answer the questions they are asked, but force their opinion/understanding/belief system on others, whether these opinions/understandings/belief systems are asked for or not. That, imho, is abrigement of free will.
Q'uo about Free Will and sharing its own truth:
Q'uo Wrote:We are a service-to-others principle and our polarity would be disturbed were we to indicate in any way that we were authorities who must be trusted.../.../...You do have the right to offer your opinion to each other when asked. You have the right to influence each other when you are using your power in ways that are appropriate, within the bounds of your relationships and that which has been requested of you. You do not have to be as concerned as we in the normal run of your life and in your interactions with those in your environment. It is acceptable and within the bounds of free will to express your opinion when asked, and even to discuss that opinion again when it is asked of you.../.../...And when you are asked questions, whether of a physical, emotional or spiritual nature, it is entirely appropriate to offer your opinion, again using your own sense of rightness and goodness to shape your replies. However, it is indeed possible within third density for people to infringe upon each others’ free will in ways that do involve karma.../.../...We understand that when you have been awakened and excited and impassioned for the good, the true, and the beautiful by truths that have been revealed to you that seem fair and worthy of being shared, it is a great temptation to share these wonderful truths with others as a way of relating to them. However, we would suggest that you refrain from doing so, relating to entities not by what you think but by who you are; giving yourself to the relationship with them, not your ideas. When relating self-to-self you may encourage and support the good that you see in another in any way that comes to you, but rest from sharing your opinions except insofar as they seem to spring up in conversation of their own accord.../.../...Realize that it is a delicate thing to determine what is a just communication and what is a bullying or a manipulative conversation.
