I guarantee you we would spend ZERO time in denial of your beliefs if we did not have it in our faces 24/7.
I rarely have any evidence out in the world that a particular person is a "theist". How can you tell? Are they running you down, shouting " I believe in God, and you'd better too!!".

As for churches and crosses, how are they "in your face"? They are just there, inanimate, stationary, docile. At most, there's a sign out front with a name and what time services are. Seems to me you are trying to be offended.
