The real point is that totalitarian regimes have claimed jurisdiction over the whole person, and the whole society, and they don't at all believe that we should give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto God that which is God's.

I kept my age quiet for a good few years. I didn't see it as a positive. I worked remotely, so I just didn't tell people.
