You can never be TOO RELIGIOUS

This lecture did ignite my views as i was almost opposing everything the lecturer said! To begin with being religious should not be classed as 'UN-cool' as it isn't a fashion trend, it is people's beliefs and way of life for some. Individuals aren't religious for the sake of 'fashion' it is for God.
Secondly as far as the lecturer mentioned 'makes others feel UN-comfortable' i consider that to be the case in situations where people do not have enough knowledge or insight into others religions. They are uncomfortable because they don't know nothing about the people and aren't willing to learn or accept others. It's just insensitive and heartless stereotypical assumptions being made such as, "The child is too young to be wearing a head scarf she must have been forced." Yes I've heard it.
It is an individuals right to express religion how they wish, however it is important not to impose it on others. Freedom of expression and all i think it's perfectly fine too be involved in religion, i don't believe anyone can be too religious. Where what you want, be what you want, you can preach as long as you don't impose religion on others.
