I don't talk religion with people I care about. Everyone already knows my feeling on the topic.

I don't since it's not professional, and everyone else is of the same mind as me.

I strongly believe in God but still got uncomfortable when someone started preaching at work. If they ask that is one thing but if not keep it to yourself. The same goes for those demanding all religious items be removed because of their bigotry.

I had a kid tell the teacher the Supreme Court ruling meant I could not have a bible in my desk. This was in the 8th Grade! Ignorance and hate abound, even way back then.

We don't have such a policy in place.

I'm one of only 5 people at work who don't go to the same church, I'm not talking they are all Catholic, which they are, I'm talking they all attend church in the same building.

Statistically speaking 85% of my co-workers should be agnostic or atheistic.. Even higher since we're all white collar slobs.

I think one of my truck drivers is agnostic, someone asked him about religion and he said "I don't believe in shit". We refer to him as Eyore because he always thinks the worst and has his own little black cloud that follows him around.

Sounds like a nihilist to me.. I hear they believe in nothing.

I don't unless someone else brings it up first.
I think the only time it is ever brought up is when someone has asked for prayer for a family member or maybe health reasons.

It doesn't bother me, I've been to christenings and confirmations, sitting through a Catholic service isn't my idea of fun but the invitations are meant well.

I'll talk to them about their religion as much as they want most times.

I like to know what people believe. It makes them easier to deal with.

I don't talk much about what I believe though. I have a hard time putting it into words that don't offend someone's sensibilities.

Did it work you ask....I think it helps just to know another person cares enough about you to include them in your prayers.
All prayers are not answered the way we ask.

Don't think we have a policy. It's never really come up tbh

I usually am pretty happy to talk about religion with people. Especially if it's something I don't know a lot about.

Well that goes without saying, I'd personally get pissed off if I heard that anyone was praying for my health.. I'd die just to spite the f'ker! grin

I love when people talk religion around me. Its a perfect chance for me to see just how stupid someone is. I play the perfect listener. I don't assault their beliefs. I don't allow them to think I'm interested in learning more about their opinions. I listen! It's good to know what limits those around you exist within.
