Obviously, the Atheists are going to have stupid answers, but my question really goes out to the Religious out there.
If Christianity (or whatever religion you follow) was outlawed today, and the cops came to your place of work or home to arrest you, could they convict you?
My mother-in-law gives me many religious emblems to but in my wallet, and I have a scapular around my neck, so I guess I would be in jail for a while...

The same way they put Jesus to death without cause, it is foretold that those that Truly follow Christ should expect the same treatment.
John 15:20 "Bear in mind the words I said to you, A slave is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also."
P.S. As true Christians we are commanded by God's word the Bible to stay away from idolatry.
Exodus 20:4 " You must not make for ur selves a carved image of anything that is in the heavens above or the earth beneath...
You must not bow down to them nor be induced to serve them, because I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion, bringing punishment for the error of the fathers upon sons."

If they came to my home, yes. I have so many books. Many, many books. Bibles, references, magazines, brochures, history books, etc. Personally, emblems are not a part of worship for me, so if they came to my work, I don't think they would find anything convicting. I'm really not there often and don't keep my literature there. However if my workmates were to turn me in based on past discussions, then I could be convicted of something, I'm sure.
I always wonder if someday it will be like that. Big brother kind of stuff....

They would have a lot of witnesses that would say, yes he is a Christian.
I would say that that would be enough to convict me as being a Christian.
I have even been dismissed from employment for being a Christian, even though it is against the law.
There are ways to get around that law as with all laws.

If you are a true believer in your faith, people can tell so by the characteristics of your being you would be convicted like they already do so yes.

Yes I would be convicted and possibly put to death
Just as it says in the Bible that would happen

Is the scapula around your neck a human one or an animal one?
Oh and I have books from most religions in my home. They would get me for having a baptism certificate though.

I don't think wearing specific items is all there is to it. It's how you live your life. Would people accuse you of Christianity if you didn't wear something professing your faith?
