Atheists: Can You Still Accept X'n Friends?

[Pat Mustard]

Though I guess not everyone here is an atheist, I am. I'm finding it harder and harder to remain friends with believers.
This question is directed at other atheists. So, if you reply, please state first whether or not you are an atheist. If an atheist, please also state if you are a Type 1 or Type 2 atheist, as defined below. :-)
Question:
As an atheist, do you find you are still able to be friends with believers?
What I've found is that there are 2 basic types of atheists:
1) Simply don't believe in god, but don't mind if others do
2) Don't believe in god because they think it's a dangerous fairytale

I am in the second group. My hunch is that people in the first group can still be friends with believers. 
So, more specifically: If you are a 'Type 2 atheist,' are you still able to be friends with believers? If so, doesn't it cause significant 'cognitive dissonance' (mental confusion/stress)?
Thx, D

As long as somebody isn't trying to shove their religion down my throat, or say they are better people simply because they believe in god(s), then I've no problem being friends with them. I've catholic friends (including those in holy orders), I've protestant friends (mostly anglican or other UK originating sects), I've buddhist friends, I've muslim friends, and I've got lots of friends who have a vague feeling that there is something out there looking over us but not really caring either way(pretty much the default Irish belief these days).
