Ahimsa--I agree with Lisa, that the situation is tougher if the toys live at your MIL's house. Then, truthfully, I kind of think you don't have a right to really say anything because it's her turf. I think though, you are within your rights to bring more acceptable toys and books and discourage the playing with the prostletizing stuff.

Regarding Christians' obligation to share their beliefs with others, I can only say as a Jew, that "sharing" has taken sinister forms throughout history: the Inquisition, pogroms, forced conversions, child stealing, blood libel, murders etc., etc. So, while Christians may think they are sharing "good news," to me, in the historical context of my people, it's simply threatening and really, really, deeply offensive.
