Underground Christianity & Actions by Faith
The missionaries who go into the middle east know the risks, the Bible is pretty clear that Christianity may cost everything temporal. Those church groups and missionaries practice pretty good OpSec about what they do, it's why they can do that.
There are places in Europe that missionaries choose to be covert when they travel there.
Religiously motivated people tend to take a long view in their actions. We're going to be dead a lot longer than we'll be alive, and eternity reflects the actions taken.
If someone believes that a course of action will cause some temporary discomfort, but an eternity of bliss, they'll do some pretty outstanding or horrendous things. Religiously motivated people are hard to deter.
