I was wondering about religion in America

Some peoples conversations in the workplace (certain professions like in hospitals especially) are constantly talking about their faith and whatnot (essspecially catholics). Any dogmatic christian looks at life through a god looking glass, it's just natural for them to talk about their lives from the perspective that they see. The difference between themselves and myself, is that I don't feel the necessity to push my worldview on them, whereas they make comments attributing power to god and then give me a look to see if I'll agree.
Everyone knows that not everyone here is a Christian, so when I'm forced into a conversation referring to god's great plan! or whatever.. I just try to talk about reality with them--things about what they said that we can both agree on existing. I won't hide if confronted and I wont lie about what I think, and if someone's factually incorrect then I will tell them so. I don't just tell them god is great but I also don't go telling them god doesn't exist.

It depends on what you think is better for yourself, to respect yourself, or to have the respect of gullible idiots. I'll go for self respect everyday and I think at the end of the day that's what always will make you feel better as a person. I don't need to be patted on the head by people to have a good life. A good life is about being true to yourself. I don't really care too much for using personal points to try to make an argument, but I do need to note that I currently live in Utah.
