> try going around saying you are a satanist and see how that affects your career

I’m pretty sure that people would give me a weird look and then it would carry on as normal. Is this different somewhere?

If you are a politician, performer, athlete, or CEO in the United States of a high profile company - yes absolutely this is different. Are you an IC in Finland or something? People here get very upset and judgmental as a rule.

I, as a Mormon, faced more social pushback in Georgia ~15 years ago, than my Wiccan friends, but neither of us faced any work pushback or worried about our jobs based on our religious beliefs.

Though I did have a co-member there get fired for being a Mormon and win a discrimination suit. His religiously motivated abstemiousness regarding alcohol got him fired from an aircraft maker since they worried about him NOT drinking with clients (as a salesman.)

Was the abstaining done in an offensive or obnoxious manner?

Nope, hence winning the suit. No one had complained, it was a proactive, hey maybe someone might take offense. Most likely a cover for actual religious malice, which wasn't necessary to prove to win the legal point.

I’m in New Zealand. Maybe my assumption that people wouldn’t particularly care is wrong, or my oddities are already factored into their behaviour towards me.

The more imaginary friends you have, the more you're angry about the imaginary friends other people have.

Not really - pagans tend to be more open-minded about such things than monotheists.
