Yes, lying is sometimes okay. Living a lie is never ok.

I grasp not wanting to hurt your friend or damage your relationship, but you really shouldn't let it impinge on how you live your own life. You have a right to be who you are.  If you go through life claiming false beliefs, I don't think you can ever be happy.

I'd suggest telling your friend - as gently as possible - how you feel.

Good luck.
