Can Atheists and Religious people be one?

[tor]

Well, I''m not much more Christian than you are, but definately one of those sorry sons of bitches that needs to have faith in God in order to not shoplift, kill myself, or act on some bad desires. I also need that Crutch for the weak (opiate of the mind) to motivate me to do good things and have hope. If you can do that without faith, my hat goes off 2 ya!

So, just wondering if you have friends who are Religious, and the two of you can enjoy eachothers company without tension, and without you having to tell them they are simpleminded, superstitious, imbeciles, and them not telling you, you are going to Hell?

I was friend with a dude who thought I was going to hell and was happy about it. Didn't bother me cause we stopped talking after we understood we will never change. I thought of his religion as a brain disorder so it didn't bother me. He was bonkers about christianity.
