Only you can weigh down your heart.

Even if the thing that many Christians do is, as you claim, to "weigh down a person's heart", which I don't think it is [they refer to it as "The Good News"], if it gives them meaning and a sense of purpose and helps them make sense of life and death, and they need non-believers to hear all about it, then I think carrying that weight is a small price to pay. I'm fine with it. One can always walk away.
