I work as a cashier in at a major grocery store. During the busy times (afternoons, early evenings), I don't have time for anything. I am more worried about scanning/tendering the order, and nothing else. I don't talk much when it's busy like that. During non-peak times, if someone makes a comment about religion: 1. I'll be like "whatever, okay" 2. I will simply "roll along" with the customer, then 3. shrug it off after he/she leaves and mutter "<bleep> him/her" afterward. I don't have time for politics or religion on the job. I come there to work, I come there for money, and I come there for experience.

Reason: language
I got a good job installing A.C. units because I acted like I was interested in Scientology and I was always getting preached at, or witnessed to. I watched other employees dragging into work a couple hours late on a usual basis, and it was always the same with one dude. He wakes up, sits on the toilet and he leaves his body where his soul was stuck on the ceiling for 2 hours looking down at himself on the toilet, and this was a perfectly good reason to be late or to miss the whole day.
They kept taking me to the Bellare Scientology church, office or whatsver they called it, and they kept trying to put me under the can.
Thing is, those people were not lying, it happens to them all the time to where it becomes a problem in having no control to not leave they bodies at anytime, I mean, they are either mass hulicinating, or what they say is really happening.
You could find a medallion that you feel is emblematic of your pagan beliefs, and wear it at work hanging outside of your clothing. I would imagine that at some point your co-worker will finally ask what it is.
And you reply, "I am a pagan, and it is an emblem of my religion."
Given her background and the word "pagan" she might blast off right through the nearest wall. If not, you might add very pleasantly, "Let me tell you more about out beliefs, or perhaps you might come with me to a meeting."

I have been trying to leave my body (not permanently!) for ages so how do they do it? Although I am not willing to become a Scientology convert to do it.
Somehow or other I missed that there were some more replies to this thread.
Update if anyone is interested: The problem with the co-worker really never went away - she actually got more adamant about preaching whenever the branch manager was out of the office. I just sort of listened, continued to try to work (not always successfully), and didn't engage her, but just sort of half-way listened.
Around Thanksgiving 2019, I brought in a quartz and a fluorite crystal to sit on my desk for no real reason really other than (1) I truly am a rock hound and really do like them and (2) they were "asking" (sounds weird I know) to go to work with me. She started to say something about how they're from Satan or something but I kind of cut her off and said something to the effect of "I think I need to go back and re-read Genesis - I was under the impression God created the Earth and everything on it - including these rocks." That actually quieted her down for almost a week. I remember thinking I should have brought them in sooner if that's all it took lol.
About 3 weeks after that I was recruited away from that job to another one in the same industry but with almost double the hourly pay, with really good benefits and full-time (so I went from 25 hours a week to 40 hours a week plus nearly doubling my hourly pay!), and for one of the companies I really wanted to work for while I was in school. I've happily been there ever since.

Good for you. I think the crystals were the amulet that you needed-and they were letting you know.
