My first thought on the "classified" type response is not a wise one these days. Even if said with a smile "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you" just trips too many warning bells these days.
I've only run into a few of the "church" type questions, but they are always from the sort of person who wishes to inflict their religion (and other personal life details) on everyone around them.
I don't have a problem with folks who've accepted Jesus into their life. I just wish there weren't so many of them that have to be sure everyone around them knows it.
BTW, for various reasons I *really* prefer not to lie to people about stuff like this. But that leaves me in a real bind since I don't deal well with confrontation.
Alas, I've run into a few people who won't accept a brush-off answer. Which leaves me getting more and more anxious and risking an explosion at them. If I'm lucky, it'll be "Just leave me alone!!!". If not things could get ugly.
