Even the only other boy in our American extended family is not allowed to spend time with my son, as his parents are afraid my son's atheism will "rub off" on their boy. The fact they both have shared interests and live less than 10 minutes' drive away from each other doesn't matter - our lack of theism is an issue. This boy is even discouraged from talking with my son at family gatherings - *sigh*.
Ugh, wow that really sucks. Hopefully he'll make more openminded friends soon!
