I personally do not believe that anyone can be "too religious," as long as they do not try to impose their beliefs on other people. If someone wants to sit in a public place and read from the Bible or the Qu'ran, then I think that's perfectly acceptable, but if they decide to start chanting the verses out loud, then yes, I do think it is possible to be too religious, and in this instance, it is partly due to lack of respect for other religions. On the subject of imposing religion upon others, although one of the duties of being a Jehovah's Witness is to knock on people's doors and talk to them about their religion, I think this is being a little too religious.
Recently, there has been much controversy over people wearing religious clothing or symbols in the workplace. For example, British Airways tried to sack an employee because she wore a crucifix necklace as a sign of her Christianity, sparking a huge media debate over whether people should be free to wear religious items. However, whilst the necklace was very small and could be worn under the employee's uniform, there were a few Muslim employees who wore headscarves, which questions why some religions are discriminated against whilst other religious practices are deemed acceptable. Either way, I think all people should have the freedom to wear religious items of clothing if that is what their religion requests, or even simply to remind the individual of their beliefs.
