Me.
Best friend is a Pentacostal. Am close friends with two pastors, one Lutheran, one Anglican.
We only tease about belief/non belief, and it never gets ugly. We enjoy our friendships because we have far more in common than that one difference.

A lot of straight guys get defensive when asked if they are gay. They're insulted that you would even consider they MIGHT be gay. Homophobia runs deep in the locker room culture of the American jock. Now you have to worry that your friends may think YOU are gay and were fishing for a lover. Only a small minority of straight men are secure enough in their own sexual identities to not feel threatened by such an intimate question. None of this has anything whatsoever to do with atheism. I imagine the percentage of male atheists who are gay is about the same as for the general population. Atheism and homosexuality have nothing to do with each other.

Most of my friends aren't atheists. I'm friends with the wanna be wiccans (don't ask), the real wiccans, Christians, Jews, though I have yet to meet a REAL Buddhist or Muslim. I don't care about a person's religion, as long as they don't shove it down my throat.

I grew up in Holland, which means basically all my friends are atheists, because the majority of the Dutch don't really believe in gods anymore.
I've traveled a lot, I currently live in Florida, so I now know several Christians. Good people, but I'm still in culture shock over the high amount of religiosity over here.

The vast majority of my friends and family are theists. Most are Christians, also some Pagans, Satanists, Buddhists, etc.

I very rarely bring up the subject with my friends, I would rather not know. But I will say, judging by their behavior, no one I know is even remotely religious.
But I live in a party town, we have 2 gay friendly churches and people are not stick in a$s uptight like the rest of the US.

Well, I'm a christian, and I have many atheist friends. True friendship doesn't depend on one's same views. Once we realize that we share the same problems, we will turn out just fine.

Majorities of my friends are Christians. We just don't talk about belief much offen. It is said that if you want to gain enemies well...talk about religion and politics.
But we must remember, beliefs should not create walls.

Some atheist, some not.
My Junior class is about 70% atheist/agnostic.

LOL, other than my online friends, ZERO! I may know of one true atheist - a bro in law, but that would be it.
I do, however, know alot of non-religious people who are more indifferent than anything else, but I don't think that is what you are asking.
