No ... all my friends are atheists.
I suppose it partly depends on what you consider a friend to be ... I personally consider a friend to be someone very, very close so yes I know a few religious people with whom I am quite friendly but none of them are close.
I guess it's because the strongest focus of my friendships is respect, I respect my friends, I respect their views, if I couldn't they wouldn't be my friends
