Most religious denominations would encourage you to share your faith at each appropreate time as it comes your way and more than likely they would also see it as a strength from within you. The only exceptions might be that if you are a member of a secret society and trying to do this, you may not want to venture out on your own without asking you leadership's direction, instructions and blessings "first".

If anyone tells you that you are weak for beleiving in a religion than they are either just scared to admit their religion or they are j;ust looking for any little way to make fun of you. If you are open about things like that than you are very strong and not sharing this is a sign of weakness and fear.

It is a sign of strength. No one should laugh at you because you have faith in something, and if they do then they are not worthy of your time. The only thing I would suggest is to NOT preach your beliefs to someone that is not open to them, or someone that has their own belief system because then you just seem like a zealot!

Yes, it is ok to be open with what you believe. It is the most important decision you will make because it affects your whole eternity. Don't be ashamed of it. It is a definite sign of strength to be proud of what you believe and stand up for it. I believe in the One True Living God who's Son is Jesus Christ. I believe Jesus was born, died, shed his blood and rose again for me, so my sins can be forgiven, all I have to do is ask. I'm proud of this and am so thankful to God for sending His Son for me. I'm thankful to Jesus for suffering for me.

It is okay to be open, however it is NOT okay to preach and talk about it constantly when you are not asked about it. There is nothing wrong with being strong in your faith.

It's great to be open with your personal religious beliefs, just as long as you don't try to force others to share those beliefs.

it depends on what your religion is. like if it's made up, yeah, we will laugh at you. or if it's about hating other races, ditto. no one cares what religion you are - just don't push it into anyone's face. and don't try to convert people. me? personally, i don't believe that there is any god. and i don't mind shouting it to people.
