Let's face it our beliefs are our personal blueprint /recipe/manifesto on how we are going to live our lives. What about us makes us want to make public such highly-sensitive information?

Spirituality is personal but not private. From time out of mind mythological systems have been crucial to maintaining social cohesion and sharing spiritual insights among ourselves.

I would say yes and no and to some degree. We are individuals and were made for God as such. Our individual happiness will depend upon a personal relationship with our creator as if we were the only creature created. However, we are also social beings designed to live in community. We have to be willing to mutually SHARE both our material and spiritual gifts to help each other attain a personal relationship with our creator. We are not only required to love God, but to love our neighbor as ourselves also.

We are instructed by Jesus to go into all the world & preach the Gospel that thru Him every 1 might be saved. For He does not want any to perish no not 1.

Why should you be ashamed of such an important part of yourself? Why not come out of the closet?

Good point.
I've always been somewhat of a stoic and I always get the feeling that someone's trying to give me explicit details of their last colon cancer screening when they try to "share" their religion with me.

No it shouldn't be. What is the point in telling someone you love them, if you can't show it to the rest of the world.

Emphatically, yes!

No way. It's fun to insult others beliefs, and it makes me more secure about my own faith, because my religion makes me insecure for some reason...
