Having religious friends when you're atheist

RE: Having religious friends when you're atheist

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.
