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?
The most important person in my life when I was a teenager went to mass regularly. He asked me if I wanted to go once. I said "no" and that was the extent of our religious discussions. Years later than made me respect him all the more. His was the last funeral I ever attended.
