My advice is to keep religion out of the topic, religious hardcore nuts will get furious if you start contesting their beliefs and even worse if you ridicule them...

Yeah I agree I don't bring it up anymore. For reasons completely unrelated to religion we are on frosty (along with most of my "main" friend group) at best terms right now. That's not the issue. I'm not too concerned with my friendship with said individual right now.

I was just curious on how other atheists, particularly strong atheists that are on this site, deal with staunch religious friends. Want to see how others deal with this. Not looking for advice. Thanks though (no sarcasm).
