I would be no means endorse the presentations of Penn Jillette and his onstage partner Teller, but I was amazed at this video from Penn Jillette's daily video blog. Nearly halfway through the video he asks a question that should make all Christians stop in their tracks. Watch the video.

A professed atheist asks, "How much do you have to hate me not to tell me about Jesus?" So I challenge you, who have you hated this week?

It's not hateful to allow people the freedom to make their own religious path, or to choose a path free from religion.
To do otherwise (to insist that all people "become Christians") is to betray Jesus and turn his message of inclusion into a cult of personality.
You are correct it is not hateful to allow people the choice, but it is hateful to not give them the choice, because you haven't presented them with the truth you believe in about Jesus. In the video Penn Jillette makes it very clear that he was still choosing not to believe, but was truly touched that someone cared enough to share.
