I'm sorry, I can't disagree more strongly.  There's no reason that
a "professional" designer (or a professional _anything_) would have
to hide their religious beliefs.

Killian, things like this are undoubtedly a cultural issue.  You
clearly come from a different country than I do.  Therefore, it's
somewhat foolish of you to make sweeping generalizations about
professional behavior.

As an example:  it's quite common, when flipping through the yellow
pages here (that's a categorized phone book), to see little Christian
fish or crosses in ads -- at least around here.  These people want
to be identified as Christian, and in America, at least, it's more
than tolerated for them to do so.  There's nothing wrong -- by
_my_ culture -- with trumpeting your beliefs.

I find a religious sig far less unprofessional than someone asking
for help with a website and getting attacked/flamed for their
religious beliefs.
