Sometimes people admire you and sometimes they dont, it all depends what kind of people you meet. Generally those who are more religous admire you, however there are plenty of anti-relgious people out there (They are not Anti-semetic, they are against pretty much all relgions, if you were an Evangelical Christan they would not like it either) who do not.
There is no way to know what kind of people you will meet unless it comes up in a conversation.
For those who think they know what Hashem thinks, Do you think hashem smiles on those people who refuse to sit next to women on airplanes causing a ruckus calling it a great kiddish hashem or do you think hashem frowns on what a chillul hashem they have caused
