Sometimes, I keep my mouth shut. Like when I'm invited over for a Christmas party or a Passover seder. When in Rome, I am respectful.

When I am in an internet forum specifically created to allow for uninhibited discussion of religion, a web forum one must voluntarily seek and of one's own volition venture, I discuss religion. Uninhibited.

It's surprisingly sensible when you sit down and think about it, but there's always at least one person who can't seem to wrap their head around it.
