Theland,
The old saying about never talk about religion or politics may have some merit to it :-(
For my own part, I can get a bit too vocal, I admit, (and even apologise) but it comes down to frustration when trying to converse about a subject and any difficult questions asked just get glossed over.

Theland, I always did Psychology, so I am more interested "why" people believe something, than "what" they believe.
I'm sure many people who do have beliefs, have no need to either ask or tell others about them, but if you start a public conversation about your own views, it is likely that people will reply with either their own, or questions about yours.
It really is up to you how much you want to discuss anything x

You can either view this as a topic for sharing your beliefs and wishes in a non evangelical and interesting way and taking on board others differing beliefs, or you can be damned sure you are right everyone else is wrong, it's your God given duty to recruit other folks to your way of thinking and inform them of the error of their ways. Which do you do Theland?
Religion invites adversity. Adversity promotes faith by excluding the alternative, the understanding of underlying principles.
An overactive imagination served an evolutionary advantage at a time when there was less understanding of what constituted real danger and we knew less about how to deal with perceived danger. As our understanding of the way the world around us works increases there becomes less need to react to false positives, a greater ability to curb unrealistic expectations and make rational decisions based on that improved understanding while relying less of the perceived 'wisdom' of others.
Knowledge and reason are the antithesis of religion and faith . . . probably not the answer you were looking for.
