My family moderate and meeting other believers makes them happy.
1. If they meet a believer for the first time, how do they know that the person isn't fundamentalist, or pretending to believe, or a moderate but immoral?
2. What if a close person leaves the faith? What if he or she pretends to believe out of fear of being rejected?
3. What if their religion becomes the minority? What if other religions grow or atheism grows?
As an atheist I might experience the problems listed above, but I'm not very emotionally attached to my lack of faith.
