Does everyone you know know about them, or just a few select people, or do you keep them to yourself?

Let's see.....I walk about town dressed in a long black cassock and a stiff-linen backwards white collar.
I'm pretty sure people know what I'm all about, yeah. At least 99% of them.
The final 1% probably thinks I have no fashion sense.

I wear my pentacle openly, and will answer questions if asked. My family knows I'm pagan, my husband knows, most of my friends know. Some of my co-workers and I have talked about it, but I don't go out of my way to talk about it at work.
I came to the realization over the past year that other people wear symbols of their faith - cross, Star of David, crucifix, etc. - without anyone saying anything. I should be able to do the same. So I wear my pentacle on a standard-length chain, and if it's visible then it's no big deal.
I will, however, tuck it away in certain situations where IMHO it could cause more problems than I feel like dealing with.

A few select people know, but that is because its my own business. If some one asks I will tell them, but I don't feel the need to tell everyone, or push my beliefs on them.

Not an issue with the snoop lifestyle in place widely. It's not a question of either of the above. There is a silence order out from a very high source. Not out of fear or shame. If someone wanted to find anything out concerning these things all they'd have to do is consult the book, now wouldn't they? Why not? People have a perverse fascination with being titillated.

All of my close friends know. And some of my family. Even some strangers I've met know my beliefs. I don't keep them to myself nor do I tell everyone I meet. If the subject comes up, I'll gladly speak about it. If it doesn't, nothing needs to be said.

Everyone has their own religion to themselves. We can all agree to the foundation of a mass religion, but at the end of the day it all comes down to how we individually interpret that religion. No two people can experience the same thing or religion in the same way.

I believe that you see religion or theology as the study of something finite rather infinite, for if you see it as the study of something infinite, then you will see that each person who has some understanding of religion will have some truth to bring to the table.
God is infinite.
So, the answer should be no, for the more I consider God, the more other people don't know about my views.

Pretty much everyone I know, as well as those I come in contact with know about my beliefs. I try to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with everyone I meet.

Everyone I know, personal friends, family and co-workers, knows I am a Pagan. I will discuss beliefs, but I do not discuss "practices" as in rituals, etc... Though many have seen me do my "Happy Pagan Dance" *wink*

My beliefs are to have a personal relationship with the Lord. Its not about religion. I attend an Apostolic Church which means to bring forth change quit living your past be renewed in Christ. God tells us to come as we are, but he Loves us to much to leave us where were at. For repent means to change your ways in hebrew text.
