I don't really deal with or view a theists in a particular way. I'm more likely to judge one by the personality they present to me more so than their religious views.

I typically don't care. I'm probably the only nonbeliever in my family (i've yet to meet another member of my family that admits to being a nonbeliever) and my family has all kinds of believes that i find silly. I don't view them as messed up. I can understand why they believe in what they do. I was once the same way. I don't see myself as greater or wiser for choosing my own path. If anything i would find it more interesting if my family had a more diverse set of beliefs. Like more atheist, some Hinduism, a few Buddhist, i just think it would be more interesting that way.
