In your opinion, do you think it is possible to be in the entertainment or sports field, and still maintain your religious ideals, when they may conflict with your profession. For example, if you are a religious Jew and performing on the Sabbath, or playing a character on the screen who is seeking an abortion, when you are a Christian? Yes, you have to separate religion from your job
