What about instructors that wear crosses or wedding rings? These are, more often than not, very overt Christian symbols to some degree. I find that after a while you really don't see these things. I never really notice, or think someone is trying to convert me to their faith because they wear this. It is the same with religious clothing. Once you get to know someone, you really do not notice their religious clothing anymore. I do not identify with any faith, but I used to tutor a muslim family, at first, I did notice their head scarfs because I wasn't used to seeing people in head scarfs, but after a while I didn't notice. They were just kids, and very American at that.
