Last night and I am hanging out with several friends and go outside to have a conversation with a good friend who happens to be a Christian. He knows that I am not religious and begins to discuss religion/morals with me. He asks me a hypothetical question saying "Let's say, for example, that we got married tomorrow. If I wanted to be intimate with other women, how would you oppose that?" It's obvious that he thinks the only answer to the question is religious and/or biblical. I attempted to explain to him that non-religious does not equal immoral and that just because a person is not religious does not mean that they do not have morals.
I've never encountered a situation like this as I never discuss my religious beliefs with friends (and this would be why). Now I feel like I cannot discuss my beliefs with my friends because of these types of reactions. I'm sure other Atheists and Agnostics have encountered situations like these. My question is how to deal?
