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.

Your daddy was right!

And I would add: no religion or politics at a family Thanksgiving meal. Or any other family gathering.

Which must be quite small, apparently, so that reduces the risk of arguments.

That’s the old rule of the cavalry mess: no politics, no women, no religion.
Keeps the dueling down.
