Why Christians & Muslims are Ignored in High Places

 

Why People Ignore Christians or Muslims in High Places

Sometimes, people don’t take Christians or Muslims in high places seriously. This can be confusing, especially when these people talk about faith, values, or doing what’s right. So why do others ignore them? Let’s be honest—and keep it simple.

First, some people think religion doesn’t belong in politics or business. They believe faith should be private, not something you discuss at work or in government. So when a leader speaks about God, prayer, or the Bible or Quran, some people just stop listening. They think it’s not important or it doesn’t fit in with their goals.

Second, some leaders who say they are Christian or Muslim don’t always act like it. They might lie, cheat, or hurt others—but still talk about God in public. When people see that, they think, “That’s not real faith.” So they start ignoring other Christians or Muslims in high places too, even the honest ones.

Third, the world is full of different beliefs. Not everyone believes in the same God—or any God at all. So when someone speaks from a strong religious view, people with different beliefs may feel left out or even offended. Instead of trying to understand, they just tune it out.

Lastly, some people are just tired of all the fighting that happens in the name of religion. They’ve seen wars, arguments, and hate—and they think religion causes more harm than good. So they stop trusting anyone who talks too much about it, even if that person is trying to help.

But here’s the truth: not all Christians or Muslims are the same. And not everyone discussing faith is doing it for attention or power. Some truly believe in kindness, fairness, and helping others. They pray, they lead with love, and they care.

So before we ignore someone because of their faith, let’s look at their actions. Do they treat people with respect? Do they tell the truth? Do they help others? If yes, we may listen, not because of their religion, but because of their heart.

Should Christians Reveal Their Religion on the Job or in Their Public Life?

That’s an excellent question, and the answer depends on the situation, but let’s talk about it simply and honestly.

Christians can reveal their faith at work or in public life, but it should always be done with wisdom, love, and respect for others. It’s not about forcing beliefs on people. It’s about being honest about who you are and letting your actions speak as loudly as your words.

Some Christians feel called to share their beliefs openly, especially if they give them peace, guide their decisions, or help others. If someone asks, “What keeps you going through hard times?” It’s okay to say, “I pray,” or “My faith helps me.” That’s not pushing religion—it’s just being real.

But here’s where it gets tricky: Not everyone at work or in public shares the same faith. So Christians have to be careful not to come across as judgmental or like they’re trying to convert everyone. That can push people away and even cause problems at work.

Also, some jobs have rules about keeping religion separate from professional duties. Christians can still be a light in those places, but through kindness, honesty, patience, and hard work. Sometimes, the best way to share your faith is by simply living it.

So, should Christians reveal their religion? Yes—if it’s done with love, not pressure; truth, not pride; and peace, not argument. Faith should never be hidden in shame, but it should never be used to shame others.

If You are a Leader, Regardless of Which Industry, Here's What You Do

Each and all of the religions have embedded lies or untruths within their doctrine.  What you must do is avoid "religion" at all costs, especially if you are a leader of large groups of people.  

Unfortunately, your entire foundation can crumble, regardless of your affiliated religion.  This is because our ancestors have not told us the truth as a whole; perhaps, they never understood it, only what has been passed down through the ages.

What will stand no matter what race, creed, color, or origin you are, is prayer. 

Prayer is the common denominator. 

Prayer holds the power.

Prayer crosses all international borders.

No one can really argue with prayer.  However, when those without wisdom ask you, "Who are you praying to?"  Your only answer must be, "That which is greater than myself."

The conversation with that person should end right then and there. Walk away, change the subject, and make it absolutely clear that the discussion is NOT up for debate, at least not with you.  

Your enemies know the weakest links in your religion.

They are more than happy to connect with others on the other side of you, who also know the weakest links.  "They" stick together.  Your job is to not let them or anyone separate you from prayer.  The best way to do this is to keep your mouth shut. Stay on topic, stay professional, stay focused.
