Being afraid to reveal your religious affiliation - Are you in my generation? Do you face college like I do? When I say I'm a Christian in a theatre environment look at me like I'm insane, and the ask me all sorts of questions like "Do you think being gay is bad?" and "What's up with hating abortion?" JUST to rile the peace. And then they blame me for being ignorant and narrow-minded. So, yes, I'm proud of being one, but sometimes I wish I didn't have to say anything about it because of how people treat me. Being denied job or social opportunities due to your religion - Try working in theatre. I've never been so unfairly treated because of my religion in my life.
I say this not knowing you at all, iam, so hopefully it won't be offensive. I have no idea whether you're a good actress/director/stage manager/whatever you do in theater.
One of my closest friends here is an evangelical Christian and ostensibly an actor. He's in the guild and everything. Even so, he's managed to get cast in one show (and one commercial) in the four years I've known him. But never once has he said it's because of his faith. It's a tough field.
Not having any idea how talented you are or aren't, I just wonder if you're really not getting jobs solely because of your faith. If you're certain you are, file a discrimination claim because that's not legal.
