I had asked this previously and only got a few answers - probably because it was 3am. So I am trying again during a more reasonable hour:
Personally - I believe:
Religion is like a penis - it is private and you shouldn't try to share it with everyone you meet.
So the point is that it's OK to share faith, I just don't believe it is polite to attempt to share it with every single person you meet. There has to be a line some where.

There are two times I talk about my faith:
1. On here.
2. When people ask about it.
Other than that, I prefer to preach without speaking.

I don't like to preach my religion. I just like to answer questions. I put up little notices when I get preachy. If I remember to.
I love to hear about other peoples beliefs though and why they believe the way they do. I came about my beliefs through years of introspection. Not the classical studying or word of mouth that most get there beliefs from. So hearing a different point of view is always interesting and refreshing to me.
As long as they aren't trying to force it down my throat. Then I may have to get preachy.

Faith is the believing is things with no evidence and no reason. It is blind, unquestioned acceptance of a belief or set of beliefs. To hold this secretly inside yourself is to partake in madness.
Express your beliefs in the light of day. Let others see them. Let them stand up or fall down under the open examination of your own mind and other's minds. Then you will know if they are true or simply self delusion.

I'd be glad to discuss it with someone if the topic comes up in conversation, but I certainly would not preach it. A good way to learn about others' religions as well as your own religion is to compare and contrast them.

This is the typical Liberal mind-set. Only they can spread their idiotic propaganda others can't. In other words, what you see them doing in America is, Using the Freedom of Speech to take away the Freedom of Speech from those that does not think like them. Same can be said of the Atheists; but that is incidentally what they will accused others of doing to divert them from their own mischievous scheme.

i agree with the cricket person. there's a time and a place for everything. being wiccan, i'm not supposed to talk about it, unless that is, someone asks me about it. i try to be open about it, but i also try to keep quiet. like i said time and place, ya know?

lmao.
What would you call this religious belief system?
People can tell by your actions if you believe, why say a word?

If it can't be discussed logically...it's "opinion" and I was taught to keep my opinions to myself (unless asked of course).
