I think you are wrong on the bushel analogy. Jesus states you do not light a lamp and than put it under a basket - bushel or otherwise. You light the lamp and place it high, so the light shines everywhere. Same with Christianity. You are not to keep your belief under cover - you are to proclaim yourself proudly as a believer.

I guess I am more in the Matthew camp (I always have been).
One can proselytize yto spread The Word, but one’s discussions with God should not be a public spectacle.
