I am Christian, and the people whom claim to be an Atheist that I hang out, I don't believe deep down inside they actually deny the big spirit in the sky, or universal spirit of love
they are just lonely,desperate and confused little willy's

Some. ( I don't have many friends, just a few good ones)
But I lost most of my existing Christian friends when I left Christianity and became an atheist.
Most couldn't handle it.
I'd been a very active member of the church, training bible study leaders and teaching evangelism, for instance. Apostasy from such a position seemed particularly difficult to deal with.

this is an example of YOUR prejudice! A friend is not labelled as a christian friend or an atheist friend and I am so tired of parents not letting their kids play with others based on religious views. Atheists have concerns as well about their kids bringing home lice and parasites from christians and later stds

I'm not really atheist, more agnostic than anything. I'm not even sure about my friends religions, I'm sure there is a wide range though and there would definately be some christians and some buddhist in that mix.

I do, but none that i am close too. Questions or morality, ethics and truth are extremely important for me, and i will find that my discussions often culminate in them, this inevitably leads me to distance myself from my Christian friends, who generally don't want to know anything concerning my thoughts on these areas (you will find that the rule not to talk politics or religion in a bar pertains to people whom take both matters dogmatically and don't want to give thought to another perspective on either topic). I tend to keep company, rather, with likeminded people, it is also dangerous for me to talk of these things professionally, given my job helping others- which is run by christians, who, if they knew of my religious convictions, would surely persecute and fire me.

I sure do! My best friend is a Christian who goes to church three times a week. Just because someone has different beliefs does not mean they can't have a long-lasting friendship.

Yes, but none of them are fundamentalists. We all keep our views private and love each other for our attributes. I have a stepmother who is a Catholic and she is wonderful, too.
I do have a parent that is a fundamentalist and she does attempt to force her religion onto me all the time, or threatening hellfire. That's definitely not a good way to maintain any sort of relationship with somebody you love.

Friends from every walk of life; religion is not a filter I use to the exclusivity of all else.

Yeah, but not too many. I'm a polyamorous bisexual gypsy AND an atheist. They don't like me.
