Hey, Jim, cut him some slack. He was talking about Francis the Sissy.
(And I can say that; my Confirmation name was Frances of Assisi and I have his statue with mylar pinwheels on it scaring birds out of my garden.)

I have nary a bit of a problem with how _anyone_ practices their religion, but proselytizing should be a criminal offense ;-)

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
Matthew 6:5-6

No, Jim, I didn't. I'm about four or five years behind you and Widlar was out of the picture by the time I got out of school...or nearly so. That was
1967. Then six years in the aerospace industry before I founded the company, so I never got the pleasure, or if I did, I had no idea who he was.The only place I could have crossed paths with him was Wescon and I don't ever remember that. I do remember meeting Bob Pease over there half a dozen times. We got into quite a discussion about the capacitance of the earth-moon combination.

HOw do you reconcile this passage with the one that has the admonition not to hide your light under a bushel?

That means don't conceal your talents or knowledge. Its not an admonition to pray or worship out loud.

Sez who? That's the real problem with the Bible, or any other religion's scripture: deciding which bits are meant to be literal, and which are metaphorical.
The next line: "Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father."
The key there being 'deeds'. You demonstrate your character to others by what you do, not how loud you pray. There are other references to knowing a person by their deeds.

This one talks about prayer ... the other one talks about light ... Religious light NOT EQUAL to prayer.
