I am not an overly religious person and I am definitely not a person who would display any religious activity or special garb in public, I find religion a very personal and very private experience, but obviously my views are my views and not shared by many people. I actually find overt public displays of religious beliefs or practices embarrassing.

How do you feel when the person sitting next to you starts praying or reading out load from his or her Holy book?
It really does not bother me one little bit.Who am I to judge somebody who does this just because I may have different views regarding their religion.No its upto them if they decide to pray to their God just as its my choice to suddenly get up and sing which would upset people alot more no doubt
