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

Christians are supposed to share the good news. Actually if you don't share its like denying belief.
Sharing is not cramming down throat. I am open about my Christian beliefs and will speak with anyone about it but if I even have a whiff that the person would potentially be offended then I would not bring it up. Honestly I have friends from many religions and I speak with them often and share my ideas not to convert them but just being a friend and we talk.
I do believe that Christianity is the only way yet I have a Muslim friend that I talk to often about God in our lives.
So I don't think that I am guilty of cramming down anyones throat and if you were to live in a majority Muslim or majority Hindu country you might feel the same way because over there that belief system is dominate.
