Oh dude...I know how you feel... I have one friend that isn't Christian... All the rest a Christian...yep...watch the religious jokes...k?...I did this entire joke thingy, (which was based around the school system taking over the world), and I mentioned religion somewhere in there...well...she sent me a return email yelling at me, (and she had her friend getting after me as well)...so...we hated eacother for a while...hmm...she eventually apologized...but I have one friend who takes me to her youth group, (no I don't mind this... I actually enjoy going...I like the people there...and I like the sermons they give...), and she knows I'm not Christian, she'll even send me Christian music ( I know, I know... she may be trying to convert me...but Frankly... it won't work..), but we're great friends...and I don't believe the people at her youth group know yet that I'm not Christian.. I don't want to know their reactions...

If they really care about the friendship, they'll agree that you have to agree to disagree on religion. As long as they're respectful of your religion, and you're respectful of theirs'. It's the same with politics. A Republican can be friends with a Democrat, they just have to agree not to discuss politics in their friendship. It might also be helpful if you try to meet people with your similar beliefs. You didn't say what your religion was, but let's just say your atheist for a second. If you have a few new atheist friends, you can discuss religion type stuff with them and not with your other friends. As the girlscouts said, "Make new friends, but keep the old!". Best of Luck, *Tiger-lily Rain*

I left Christianity as a young adult and raised our children without religion. We have always had plenty of friends, most of them Christian.
However, when I converted to Judaism, I found a new family and have slowly drifted apart from our former friends; mostly because Judaism requires so much of my time.

I am a christian and I have many friends who are not christains. I do talk to them about G-d has G-d would have me tell them. Not to stuff it down their throats, but to tell G-d is real and he loves them. In fact as I have grown closer to G-d I have become a much better person. I am no longer all that rude and careless. I love to love people for G-d is love. It is not to be preached in angry, but love. Your Christian friends should have no problem with you and you should thank G-d as they mature in love that you have friends who will reflect G-d wonderful nature.

If they are the kind of Christian I want to be, they will respect you and your beliefs. In living their beliefs maybe you will see something you like, maybe not. I am Wiccan and also believe strongly in the Christian God, in my own way. It is possible to agree to the fact that you don't agree and move past it, remaining friends.
Blessed Be

It depends. I have friends of different faiths where it simply isn't a problem for us because religion never comes up in the conversation. I would say that if they honestly believe you're in great danger for not being like one of them, then it's a problem and the friendship won't last long.

friendships built on respect will work regardless of religion- if they don't respect your beliefs or you don't theirs- it will evantually poison the relationships- as long as they are your friend with out having to convert you love them as people trying to be good people and have them love you as a good person dictating his own life-
i'm an athiest and i have friends of all religions- sometimes they want to believe that i'd be a better person if i was thier faith-
eventually we have the conversation where they realize in astonishment- "hey!?! you're a kind giving loveing calm person with out a faith-maybe religion isn't the only thing that makes you a great person worth hanging out with..."
if they can't get to that point its thier loss...

We have friends of all faiths and even some atheists. We're able to talk about the many differences without fighting. I hope you're able to do the same thing.

NO! I am a Christian who has good friends who do not believe in God. It doesn't affect the friendship at all. I don't mention God; they don't try to tell me how stupid and illogical I am. We stay away from the subject.

A true Christian would never let that tear you apart.
