Just curious to what extent people mix with those who disagree with them.
Obviously not exact figures, just a rough estimate.

I recently moved to a small town. Before I moved I should have noticed how many churches there are here or looked at the stone tablet with the Ten Commandments on the front lawn of the courthouse. Everyone here believes that if you don't accept EVERY word of the Bible as true, you will die and go to hell. If you say you believe in evolution or that the universe is more than 6,000 years old or that there couldn't possibly have been a global flood, they will sit on your doorstep trying to save your soul. I wouldn't mind if they believed something different that I do, if they wouldn't try to convince me that everything I ever learned about science is wrong. Before I moved here, I didn't have many religious friends, or if I did, they didn't talk about it. I wish I had enough money to move back home.
By the way, this is an all white, all protestant community. In spite of their religious beliefs, they are all very prejudiced against every other race and religion.

A few. My friends are really spread out over a number of belief systems.

None of my friends do being that I'm a Solitary Eclectic. We do share some parts of our beliefs though.

Partly, I'd say, most of them - we all share a part, obviously, otherwise we wouldn't be friends. In entirety though, none.

I have Baha'i friends, but only see them when I go to Baha'i events. Everyone else I'm close to is either Christian (family/friends) or Muslim (friends/fiance).

I really don't know what my friends believe. We don't discuss it since it isn't important.
