religion: something you should keep to yourself?

There is so much religious stuff on here and being pagan myself, I was raised to not cram it down peoples throats. I dont know if its a Christian thing to constantly bombard people with it and act like its the only religion out there and look down on others who dont conform to it but I think religion would be much more tolerated if people kept it to themselves like people used to do and really should start doing again with politics.
You never really used to know what someones political opinions were, but now people seem to just shout it to anyone dumb enough to listen.

Just some things you should keep somewhat to yourself or people you are close with

I don't think people should be ashamed of their religious affiliation or lack thereof but it's not something to flaunt or go around trying to push in everyone's face either way IMO.

@DDonde That's not what the First Commandment says =
Exodus 34:11-16 (NKJV) = "11 Observe what I command you this day. Behold, I am driving out from before you the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite. 12 Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be a snare in your midst. 13 But you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and cut down their wooden images 14 (for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God), 15 lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot with their gods and make sacrifice to their gods, and one of them invites you and you eat of his sacrifice, 16 and you take of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters play the harlot with their gods and make your sons play the harlot with their gods."

@Diotrephes that's a pretty good example of what not to do

@DDonde Almost all invaders throughout history have followed the First Commandment.
