This is so heart-warming and encouraging, and am not gonna pick a best answer because they're all wonderful. But thank you all so much, and God bless you *richly*.

I probably shouldn't answer because I still don't know what I believe. But pride isn't part of it anyway. I don't fear being mocked or ostracized, although I do ruffle some feathers at times and it can get me in hot water. It is something I need to be careful of, simply because people hold their beliefs close and do not wish to have them challenged or called into question.
But I do enjoy the journey and the people I meet along the way.

I am indeed proud of my faith, though I honestly strive to avoid shoving that down't people's throats (you can be proud without being annoying).
I do not fear being mocked or ostracized, though I do feel sand for the people who do that. I think that when they are afraid of people and ostracize them because of their religious beliefs, they're missing out on some wonderful people.

I don’t even know how you could synthesize such a question. Every atheist here swears we are shoving it down their throats. Does that sound like we fear being mocked or ostracized?
And while we are on the subject why is it that every other question asks if we fear
Enquiring minds want to know.

I'm proud, but don't flaunt it. I try to use the gift of salvation to minister to others and tell them about God. In the world today, it is normal to be afraid of being omocked because doing what is right is not popular, but that's when I call on god for courage and strength.

I'm not ashamed of my faith... it's discouraging sometimes when people put it down, but I feel worse for the people that aren't Christian than I do for myself...
I think a lot of people are surprised when they find out that I'm a Christian, because I think people kind of stereotype me as a kid that's some crazy rebel that hates everyone... but no I am a Christian.

There is no fear in standing, even if it's alone, for the Lord, but total honor to be chosen. The fear is for those being found spiritually bankrupt.

We are called to be open with our faith, to know it makes us who we are. I do not fear being cast out because of it. I know that Jesus is always on my side. I fear that all my friends will not be Christians, and that my family members might go to hell.

I fear no one. And I dont care how others view me because of my relationship with Jesus Christ God Almighty. I love my Lord and Savior with all of my being. My relationship with the Lord is a way of life, and if people cant accept that part of me then that is their loss, not mine. Peace , joy and love, to you and God Bless
