I think there's a bit of adversity to the notion people may be asked about religion. If some street corner evangelist asks, there's a certian reply. If you're in an airport in Freedonia and it's a matter of government record keeping, that may elicit a different response.

Quote:
Now I previously had a coworker who would tackle me constantly about religion, often speaking of Christ and religion at work. I always found those types of conversations just as inappropriate as sexual subjects in the workplace. She wouldn't let it go until I turned the tables on her. She was quite the hypocrite, and would often do things such as taking things from other peoples desks, throwing a fit because she had to wait her turn on using a piece of equipment, speaking behind people's backs, judging people critically. I would respond with, "That isn't a very christian thing to do." Needless to say, she dropped her speaking from the pulpit to me.
She's more of an asshole than a Christian.
