I'm not really sure how to explain myself on this topic. I do have some religious objects that I consider important, but though it would make me sad to lose them, it wouldn't totally destroy my life and faith. My love for my Gods exists in my heart, more than anywhere else.
I do like to talk about religion, especially online, because it's part of how I learn and grow. The more I explain my religion to others the easier it is for me to keep track of what parts of it are priorities for me right now, and what parts I need to grow in. If I find that I can't explain something in a way someone can understand, then I know that's something that I'm not sure about myself, and I need to research and meditate on it.
Other than that, since my religion doesn't involve or encourage proselytization, I don't really HAVE to talk about my religion to anyone. It influences every single decision I make in my life, whether I tell anyone about it or not. Every step that I take is filtered through what I feel my Gods would want me to do, as well as how my actions are ultimately going to affect myself, other people, and the world around me.

religion is a personal thing. sometimes its best to keep it to ourselves as there are people out there that refuse to see our point of view. yes?

Oh, yes, I definitely agree. There's no way I would ever try to convince anyone to see my point of view, or give up their own religion for mine. I just like talking about religion from the perspective of learning and growing, like I said. I love to learn about what other people believe because it is interesting!
