Depends on person to person. There are lots of hypocrites, but there are also many who are lukewarm Christians. Jesus commands us to profess our faith publicly regardless. Even more, he commands us to “make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19-20). Also, right before Matthew 10:32-33, which I quoted above, we have this:

> “So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.”

I think, at most what your observations suggest is that we shouldn’t be strident and annoying when we confess our faith. As Scripture says,

> but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always **being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks** you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with **gentleness and respect,**  
> 1 Peter 3:15
