That can make it difficult because they always have some underlying agenda. I'm trying to work on being better with people and I try not to talk about my atheism most of the time because I know my beliefs about religion would be offensive. How do you handle relationships in your life with religious people?
I treat religion as a cultural experience. I get to see a side of people that may not be around a hundred years from now, and as absurd as it is, I wouldn't miss it for the world.
Also, I like free cake. So there's that.
