Well...some do, and some don't. The majority don't know that I'm a Christian, but if I do show that I'm a Christian, some of my friends aren't cool with me. They even challenge the Bible and start bringing up these "scientific facts" that I really don't have a response to. I'm a new Christian, but not that new.

Trying to argue with your friends won't get them any closer to God. How are others suppose to know we are disciples?
John 13:35
New International Version (NIV)
35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Jesus told us that we would be persecuted for our believes but if we stay firm in our believes greater is our love.
"...we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are
• hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed...
• perplexed, but not in despair
• persecuted, but not forsaken;
• struck down, but not destroyed
— always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body." 2 Corinthians 2:7-10
"Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11
What did Jesus tell us to do go and tell everyone spread the good news.Mark 16:15

There were some Mennonites at a flower shop near the school, that we could see through the window. Some of my classmates began talking about them, and saying "why are there Amish driving cars?" To which I began explaining some Anabaptist history. One of the girls, who attended a private Lutheran schools prior to high school, asked why I knew so much about religion. I'd also had the chance to explain a lot of theology in a sociology class, where we talked about religion in America. I had been asked the same question in that class, and gave the same answer. "I have a vested interested". This time she asked what I meant. I stated, "I shave spent almost every day after school learning something about theology, or theology related subjects, for the last six months." She asked, "So do you have a religion?" What was my response? "I don't have a religion, per se, but I would tend to agree on most theological issues with those Mennonites accross the street."
Thus, it was out. The once prideful, and arrogant "lol, christians are dumb" atheist, had switched sides.

I don't really talk about my own life to classmates, the ones i get along with though, mostly know i'm christian.
95% of my friends do too, i always wear these WWJD wristbands
, People at work often ask me what it is for and i explain it to them, not really ashamed of that i guess.
Haha with you on that one though, i really don't like putting attention to myself and i don't really talk alot about myself.
