by how you treat other people, by your actions, integrity...etc. the way to get to people it to love them not spew "christian-eese" at them. when they see that there is something different about you, they will want to know you better, opening a dialogue where you can share with them.
it's pretty basic. and people dont' like christianity or any religion shoved in their faces. let them come to you.

Are you serious? There's so much bs on this site, it's difficult to know sometimes.
You know, I'm a Christian, but I don't feel the need to go "over and above" at work (ie, the songs and quoting scripture) so that people know that. It may go against the Christian way of thinking, but I don't feel I have to force my beliefs on anyone else. Especially with the diversity in the workplace, who KNOWS who your cube-mate could be.
I just do my thing, treat people right, strive to be a great employee and if the Christian topic comes up - it comes up. If it doesn't, it doesn't. I wouldn't want someone to be preaching what could turn out to be an opposing viewpoint to me all the time, and I choose not to do that to anyone else.

People will know you are a Christian by your attitude, by showing a loving and kind nature to all. This is done in every deed and action you take, in how you handle stress and anger, how you handle being sad or in grief and how you treat others who are in pain. Singing songs or quoting scriptures only shows you like to shove or preach your religion at others, rather than living it and is against the law to do in a business setting unless you work for a private Christian company.

Usually the best witness we have is the example we set.People will sometimes believe what we say but will always believe what they see us do.I have not been faced with your dilemma but if ever I am, I will get a different job.When the Apostles were commanded not to speak of Jesus they replied that they could not help but speak the things of God.When Jesus was told to quite His disciple by the Pharisees, He told them that if they didn't praise Him the rocks would ,and there ain't no rock going to out praise me,Amen.

Many places restrict Christians freedoms by barring such things.

Who cares if you're a Christian? If you want to get your message out, don't be in people's faces with it. Be a great person and when they get to know you talk about your faith. NOBODY WANTS TO BE PREACHED TO. That is why we slam the door on asshole Jehovah's Witnesses.

If it's permissible, wear a necklace with the cross on it. Or, buy a cross lapel pin or button with the sign of the cross and wear it on your jacket. If others can wear religious garb, we should be able to sport our crosses. Also, situate a bobble head Jesus on your desk. That would be cool.

Just say no to singing religious music at work. If you want people to know you are a christian (and in reality no one will give a sh*t) tell them. They probably already think you're wierd anyway.

Maybe by the way you treat others and once in awhile someone may ask. My former coworker was fascinated when we talked about gays one time. She agreed with me too..
