Lately I've been reading a lot about Hinduism, and it's very interesting to me. I'd like to take it a bit further and maybe even start practicing, to see if it's something that works for me.
However, I'm having a moral issue. I've been extremely ambivalent toward religion for most of my life, and I know if I were to tell my friends they wouldn't take me seriously. My mom would probably be supportive, but my dad would roll his eyes and laugh, then ask why I can't just get into Catholocism. Would it be wrong of me to keep it a secret until I know it's something I want to be serious about? I feel like if I consciously hide it from some of my friends, then I'm ashamed of it... and nobody should be ashamed of the religion they choose to practice.
