Sorry, never have evangelized. Never told anybody what they should believe, either (or that they're going to hell or whatever). I'm perfectly willing to let everybody else putter on with their beliefs, but I feel that if I'm capable of not mocking people who like things that I don't, I deserve the same courtesy of not being mocked in return.
But I think you should consider YOUR response. Nowhere in the secret did I imply that I had ever been militant, and yet you automatically assumed me to be in the wrong.

The angrier a secret, the more militant I assume the OP to be. Old habit, mea maxima culpa. Though, out of curiosity, how did you manage to bring religion into fangirling? I can't think of a fangirl scenario that would provoke another fan to demean your religion.

Re: 103

[(Anonymous)]

well, an example: I write fanfiction, and was asked once to write a M/M pairing. I politely said that I don't slash, because of my religious beliefs, and the response was something along the lines of LOLOL (insert comment about talking to spirits/whatever).
The odd thing is, I've been in situations where other people brought up religion where it was really irrelevant, or made it personal when it should'n'tve been. Like in a fandom that has characters who are religious, and people take it from the level of discussing the character to mocking anybody who might believe in that.

In that scenario, I don't think someone was insulting you for your religion as much as they were insulting you for not slashing. If you said you didn't slash because you were a misandrist, you'd probably be insulted for that instead. Religion would be insulted more simply because it tends to polarize within fandom. The only other thing I can say about that is find better people within your fandom, because those you're dealing with now sound like they suck.

*shrug* maybe I just have bad luck. Overall, I just tend to try and keep quiet about it, because it isn't directly relevant to many aspects of fandom. But it's always sad to make a new fandom friend, who when they discover that I'm religious, suddenly treat me like I'm not intelligent anymore.
