This is very true. I have met many people in my lifetime (which is definitely not that long) who assume that because I am a Christian I'm going to cram my beliefs down their throat... and very few of my outside friends and family know that I am involved in this sort of lifestyle, because I know what sort of images and assumptions it will bring up in their minds.

It is very easy to look on from the outside of something and assume the the loud, public ones speak for the whole group.
