Yep, but here in the heartland not much I can do about it. It's not really offensive but it is constant. I learned to tune most of it out. The only time I get worked up is when they start attacking non-xtian beliefs or nonbelievers.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I certainly am. I'd love not to get stopped multiple times a day crossing campus to get to class by a person who wants to "discuss God with me" and then tries to tell me all the reasons god loves me when I tell them I don't believe in him. Near the beginning of every semester, we get swarmed by old men handing out mini pocket bibles, and I always refuse. I counted once, and I literally got offered ten bibles in one day. My favourite of course, is the old homeless-looking man who sits in the middle of campus with no discernible purpose, holding his bright orange sign that reads "You deserve Hell" and getting into bitter arguments with students who just like to rile him, like poking an angry old bear with a stick. And my campus is supposed to be a liberal one.

I have honestly never encountered the religion discussion at work.

Yep, why 5 days of the week some religious nut comes out from hiding to scream in front of the university.

There is a church outside my town that has three huge crosses, which are visible from the highway. They have lights to illuminate them up at night. What waste of money.

I don't mind thinking about or reading about Jesus. It's his self-proclaimed friends I have issues with.
