If so, do you not talk about each other's beliefs, in order to avoid conflict? Or have you both learned to respect each other's beliefs?

I'm Catholic and my good friend is a Christian (protestant), and my other good friend is a Muslim, we all talk about our religions, and differences among them, but we still respect each others beliefs. I think the key is to learn how to listen, understand, and respect each other.

I was raised religious, and have my own set of beliefs. Most of my friends have no religion and do not really believe in God. I think that if your friends are truly your friends, they don't question your religious choices (unless of course, it's hurting you). Friends should have enough respect for each other and their beliefs to not let it damage the friendship. I respect my friend's decisions in religious matters and they, mine. It's not an issue at all.

Yes I have many friends, even family members that are different religions. We do talk about our religious beliefs, and get into arguments with each other about it, but we still like each other.

I've had friends of many different beliefs. I like to ask them about their religions, but just to better my understanding. I have learned to respect many different beliefs.
Politics, now that's a different story! ;-)

We should respect each other religion.We can talk about each other religion,but to avoid conflict we can not judge our friend's religion good or bad .We can hear and ask question of other religion follower to understand it better and can explain also to them our religion comparatively. One important point we should act,there is no compulsion for our friend to follow our religion.Do not enforce it to your good friend.to follow your religion.In order to respect our friend's religion we should know the rules and regulations of other religion by discussing it in a good mannaer with our good friend or by reading the books of our friend's religion..We must tolerance and polite and respect our good friend 's choice to follow other beliefs.

I have many actually since I don't know any agnostic atheist/humanists out there lol
I talk about religion with my friends often, just not with their parents. Just about every one of my friends is very open minded, plus I don't sit there bashing their religion, so they don't bash my lack of one.
Also I think the lack of conflict might have to do with me begin agnostic and not a full atheist, not that being a full atheist is bad, but agnosticism leaves more room for discussion.

I am an agnostic
My best friend is a activist Christian.
I make fun of all religions but he recognises I know a lot about the subject and we both enjoy our conversations on the topic. We make a joke about founding a church I agree provided I can be treasurer.
