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

It is a central part of the Christian religion to share it with others... Like if we fail to share it with others we are going against the teachings of God.. Also it is a teaching of Christianity that Believing Jesus and trusting in the Atonement he secured is the Only way anyone can have eternal life with God.. So it is not some personal opinion that Christians have personally developed out of a sense of superiority to anyone else.. it is simply 101 basic Christian doctrines..

Also as far as SW is concerned No body is forced to come into one of the spirituality / religion areas and engage in discussions about these topics with spiritual people.. So when it comes to this having it forced down your throat idea it does not stack up as the true situation.. Like no body is being forced to read this post..

Same goes for politics.. Most political discussions/ debates happen in the political areas of SW.. So if people want to avoid politics it's easy.. just don't read posts under the politics area..
