Default making a show of religion

I came across this passage that sums up how I feel about those who talk loud about their faith vs those who are quiet. ie Bush v Kerry... bible thumper person v personal relationship with God type person...

Quote:
Mark 12:38-40 Be suspicious of biblical scholars who make a big show of their religion, wearing distinctive garments and bearing lofty titles. They love praise from men and they occupy the most conspicuous seats of honor. They pray long prayers to impress people, and by their doctrines they steal the money of the poor. The hottest flames of damnation are reserved for them.
