Own Your Faith

I’ve been through three different bios since joining Medium. The first bio I created was not very personal — I think it was a random quote from an author I like.
There’s nothing wrong with placing a quote in your bio, but I wanted something a little more personal. I wanted to let people know who I am and what’s important to me.
My second bio was a list of topics and causes I’m passionate about. It was similar to what I have now, but with one big difference. Christian was at the end, and I had debated briefly about including it at all.
Be Honest with Yourself and Others
I was afraid of putting Christian in my bio because I didn’t want people to judge me, or my stories, based on my faith.
Religion has become such a hot button issue that merely mentioning church or God feels like a huge no-no. Especially at work or other social settings.
Keeping silent doesn't really work for me though.
