I am a spiritual person and I also think Christianity if practiced correctly with the right frame of mind is a beautiful religion. I see all of the time on the job christians going against there beliefs to please the boss. Why? what is it worth?

There's a fine line between expressing your belief at work and pushing it on others. As an atheist, I appreciate the fact that many like to decorate their cubical some to express their beliefs. However, I have also seen people who like to be "in your face" about it.
When you are working, you're there to work. I don't have anything at my desk promoting atheism. I think that would be tacky and not very career enhancing. I have a couple bumper stickers on my car, but that's it.
Work is not supposed to be a place to wage a cultural war. You should recognize that not everybody at your work is a Christian and you should respect that and try not to make the workplace hostile towards them.

Many "christians " today will find themselves wanting on the day of judgment.Jesus says if you deny Me before men I also will deny you before My Father.They use the excuse that their not supposed to push it on people and that old excuse is as pathetic as they are.Telling someone about Jesus isn't pushing it on no one.I know their are a few who don't want to hear it and that's fine but that's not a major problem only a major excuse for not doing what they should be doing.I'm glad the Apostles didn't take the approach these spineless hypocrites take today.If my boss told me I couldn't talk about Jesus I would find a different job.What would you men do if your wife had a job were she wasn't allowed to tell anyone she was married or talk about you ?

Actions speak louder than words. I've seen people be saved just witnesses the love of a Christian they worked with. My dad was friends with a coworker and occassionally talked about God; it was obvious to his coworkers that he is saved. Through small talk and just my dad's actions, his coworker was saved only two weeks before he died. His family was saved, but it was my dad's actions that lead him to believe The Truth.
Many Christians become very worldly and this is wrong of them. They want to get ahead and lose faith that their actions will ever get them ahead. Trust me, good actions do get you ahead. The customers I get in my store are always thanking me for being so pleasant and meaning it, as well as telling my boss.
Do not lose heart that a brother stumbles.

Is where the old saying comes from; "Pay unto Caesar what is Caesar's." Do you recall who made that statement? But there are many more which steer you into spiritual directions on your own time.

I worked for Ritz Camera and when they decided to open Sundays, I said I would keep that day for God and if they wanted to fire me for it that would be okay. They did not fire me and I was the only employee that didn't work Sundays. So there are some good companies out there who respect the faith. I work for a company now whose CEO shared his faith at one of our meetings. VERY COOL!

I don't mean any offense,but I would say a burqua or hijab is pushing your belief on to people more.Take what happened with British Airways for example.

Because in Christianity, Action's speak louder then words.

Keep your religion to yourself. It's a very simple thing. If others must witness it in any form, you're not doing that and you're disrespecting them.

Keep you false beliefs to yourself... work is for work not proselytizing. If your work is morally objectionable quit and find another.
