So people that express their Christianity in public as somehow terrible people.

Well I didn't say that, but now that you mention it:

"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." (Mat 6:5-6)

So I guess I need to stop praying in public at church on Sunday???

You ever heard of the scripture that talks about “where two or three more are gathered in my name...”? You may want to read the rest of Matthew:

“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (Mt. 18:20.)
