I do both and have my whole life. I’m honest about where I stand, and believe me, it hasn’t harmed me or my life in any way. I’ve got friends at work/church/school. No problem.
I’ve found being open and honest about Jesus, and about Conservative politics using facts and reason does 2 things.
1-People know where you stand and mostly respect that
2-You can change peoples minds
Honestly, I feel a big part of the reason why the left is winning the culture wars is because “good” conservatives have never discussed politics or religion. It is surrendering before that battle begins. The left doesn’t do that.

You have a point.
I don’t recall politics discussed at work even obliquely in my 45 year career except in the last four years. And it’s all been leftist weenie crap.
