I usually keep my religion to myself. Everyone I work with can tell I am Christian by the picture of Jesus in my cube. I don't generally tell people I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon). I have never said I can't do anything because I'm a Mormon. People who ask me if I want a drink I tell them I'm allergic. That when I drink I break out. You know, windows, doors, and teeth. That usually stops any further offers of alcohol.
The LDS church is very conscious of their image and try to keep a low profile. If an ad just implies the wrong message, it would be pulled.

A picture of Jesus? Is it a photo?

Actually, if that's the picture I think it is, you "out" yourself to anyone knowledgeble enough to identify the picture.
I've surprised more than a few people by asking them if they are LDS and then they ask me how I knew. It's always that picture. And you probably know which one I mean.
I think 90%+ of the LDS homes have at least 1 copy of it and more than a few hang them in their office. But I've never seen that particular picture displayed by anyone who wasn't LDS.
Of course, you may have one of the (many) other pictures of Christ displayed. As far as I know, none of them are so strongly identified with a particular church.

That low profile thing might work a bit better if they'd stop sending out missionaries all over the world ; - )
