I am certainly not ashamed of it, and will not make any move to conceal the fact that I am Agnostic.
On the other hand, unless there is a damn good reason, I don't proactively profess it, either.
(If I see a religious group trying to impose their beliefs onto innocent parties, for instance,
THEN, I might proactively step up and be vocal...without being asked).
What I dislike is a situation
where I go in, respectful of everyone's beliefs,
with no intention of asking for any special treatment,
and no intention of even bringing up the issue,
(and even willing to diplomatically soften up, on some of my preferences,
like bowing my head at someone else's dinner table,
while they say grace,
or attending a church wedding service with them,
and even agreeing to stand up and mouth along with a hymn)
but what eventually emerges is that they are that type of "privileged" or "entitled" Christian
who will basically get offended or angry if you don't ultimately compromise all your own beliefs
and essentially agree to convert to Christianity.
