My views agree with all religions on the basics, I'm not even opposed to atheism. So it's hard for me to find someone who conflicts with me that much.

Diversity makes the world go round. If we all agreed, the world would be one boring place

I'm not terribly religious or anything (I'm a terrible Catholic -- I never go to church and hardly pray), but I find it annoying when my friend throws in my face why she doesn't believe in God/Jesus. That wouldn't be a problem if she wasn't so annoying about it all...respect others beliefs please!

One of my best friends... I'm not even sure what to call her beliefs. One day she's Atheist, another she's celebrating Christmas, and yet another she says she's Buddhist. It's really confusing. What I do is that I'm Christian and we fight a lot.

Try Christianity over Wiccan. That's an interesting combo.

The person I consider my best friend has very different beliefs than I do. But we are still close!

My best friend is atheist, my favorite grandma is agnostic, and another friend of mine is satanic. I still love them all

Hell yes! ...(anyone?)

I don't care of you believe a magic turtle created the earth first and the universe second. As long as you are a outstanding citizen and not spreading hatred.

I am a Republican, a Christian, and have friends from many different religions and spiritual belief systems. Being conservative politically does not make me less open minded.
I am fascinated with all religious beliefs. Think we are much closer than we realize. It's probably all one central system

She's Jewish I'm Christian. She agrees that Jesus existed. She just doesn't acknowledge His continued importance and that's her choice.

I dont want to start a war here. but if you are an athiest does that mean you are unafilliated ..
or just haven't picked a side. just wondering how that hole thing works . no prayers or blessings.
no spirital connection? curious.

Most of my friends are Christians, and I'm a Pagan

As a pagan Im friends with a christian, lucifitarian (not sure if I spelled that right), a Buddhist and a guy that lights fire for Zeus

Yes, that describes my relationship with almost all my friends.

I used to be frenemies with a Satanist in high school. We would tease each other with our religious symbols: him with the pentagon, and me with the cross and Star of David. I haven't heard from him since graduation.

My family is Catholic; I am as well, but I am iffy about a lot of the things...

My wife. I am a Christian and she is a Mormon.

It's okay. If they're right we both end up the same. But if I'm right...

Deist, borderline atheist here. Most of my close friends are devout Christians, Hindus, Muslims, of Jews. (:

Well yes! We live in a country that incorporates several cultures and religions under one roof. If we're not accepting, then we will never move forward together.

I have friends who are Obamists.

I am Christian and have an athiest friend. we have a little joke between us.. I asked him what did he want to be buried in.. he said a suit...my reply was all dressed up and no place to go

My friends a Jew, we get along still. He just won't eat with me at lawlers and and I won't let him let me borrow money.

A fellow Marine, and Brother-in-Arms, I work with and myself are the prime example that Christians and Atheists can be both civil and good friends :-)

Yep. When everyone can be civil, we have some pretty interesting conversations. I am not religious, but that doesn't mean I can't have friends who are. If they don't push they're beliefs on me, I'm not doing it to them.

my best friend is a catholic who leans republican... so nope.

Gay marriage. Being bi kinda makes it a touché issue....

Many of my friends have different beliefs, but not my wife. I'm surprised at how many people here have different beliefs than their significant other. I would have a lot of trouble being in that situation.

Yes, but I avoid religious conversations with my aunt who is condescendingly atheist.

Only one person is extremely critical, and that only happens around the Christian holidays. I usually avoid her during the holidays.

I have a Mormon friend, but right now he's questioning his faith and religion as a whole and such. I don't really want to govern his decisions, especially since I don't know the whole of the situation. I try to be supportive, but might not be anygood

I am Christian orthodox, and have 2 Jewish friends, 3 Muslim, 1 Protestant, a few Catholic ones, and some Buddhists. It's never been a problem :)

My boyfriend is catholic. He's not super religious, rarely goes to church. But he has his beliefs, and they are strong. I'm an atheist. We respect that we each have our own opinions and leave it at that.

I have many friends who disagree strongly with my religion. They used to hate it, but now they respect my beliefs, even if they don't agree. We talk religion all the time, and its really nice to get different points of view.

As an atheist, I really can't avoid being acquainted with religious people... They're everywhere, y'know?

I'm a Christian with modern deist leanings, and one of my closest friends is an atheist.

I honestly don't have strong religious beliefs. I'm agnostic yet some days I think like an atheist and other days like a deist. As long as your religious beliefs do not cause you to be sexist, homophobic or racist then I have no problem with them.

It really doesn't matter to men unless they openly believe wracked up stuff...

I am not religious at all, but I have a lot of good friends and family that are. I even dated a catholic woman for several years, and if was not religion that got in the way at all.

I'm an "atheist" and my boyfriend of four plus years is a Christian. As well as several of my friends. I'm not a dick about it. What you do is up to you. I have had a couple of instances where the persons religious beliefs/actions were so offensive to me that I cut my ties with them.

I'm Christian but I have good friends that are Buddhist Mormon atheist and agnostic and we discuss our beliefs all the time

I have a very smart friend who is an orthodox Jew. Sometimes. when we hang out we actually talk about our different beliefs and why I think I am right and why he thinks he is.

Well being that I'm not very religious, yes, almost all of them.

Grood. Great and Good.

I consider my parents my friends. My dads a pastor and I'm agnostic. Fortunately, most of my friends aren't religious.

I used to be, but she couldn't get over the fact that I was an atheist.

My gramma used to very much believe in a Christian God. After watching her husband die of liver failure she jumped off that train. I was glad that she finally found logic.

I am an atheist. Most of my family are devout Catholics. My neighbors are Mormon and we hang out a lot. We all get along by understanding that it is a very personal choice.

Don't really have that many "close" friends that conflict with my beliefs
But not against it just haven't hung out with them enough to be that good of friends

Does this mean Republicans refuse to be friends with anyone who believes differently than they do?
