Don't worry about the hypocrites.
Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
They don't practice what they preach. It's kind of like selective hearing. They use the bible when it benefits them and not the other way around.

If you really care that much about what they think of you, then don't tell them about your beliefs. Alternately, you can realize that you really don't care what they think, and let them judge away.
If you're thinking that explaining your beliefs will help, you may be right, or not. There is actually a reason the early Catholic church had all Gnostics killed and their writings burned. The principles of Gnosticism are pretty dramatically at odds with orthodox Christian dogma. You're basically saying that God is evil and that Jesus, Lucifer, and the Serpent are all the same person. (I know the Gnostic Creation is much more complicated, but that's sort of what it sound like the first time you hear it.) It can make some fundamentalist Christians a little bit nervous to hear that kind of talk.
Note: I am assuming that you actually meant "Gnostic", which is what you wrote, rather than "Agnostic". If you meant agnostic, and the people in your town don't know what that means, then I suggest that you move to a different town. Hopefully one where more people have earned at least a fourth grade education.
For everyone else who doesn't know what Gnostic means and thinks maybe it is some weird cult, it was the original form of Christianity, and it was practiced by the majority of Christians until around AD 300 when the Romans took over and corrupted the faith for their own purposes.

Well what exactly is gnostic?
does it pertain to some other God unknown? or to Satan? if it does run the opposite direction and dont look back, It is very easy for a young person to be misled in to somthing that is not the right thing. If you are a smart person you should be able to make a wise decision , If you have any doubts go talk to someone about it.

I don't know what "gnostic" is either.
I can't believe there exist towns 100% christian. A real nightmare.
Throw holy water at their face: they will stop judging you then.

You're gnostic or agnostic? Most gnostics were Christians.

Get a real philosophy that covers dealing with other people in effective ways. Like Existentialism?

Sounds like you'd be in real trouble if you were a Thespian.
