Theists who are more or less on the level and interact with the world in a 95% functional manner (ie, keep their religion to themselves) don't bother me one bit. It's true that those friends or lovers closest to me are all atheists, but I have a few people I share deep friendships with who are theists. One who I adore is actually a deacon in his church. I love him because he actually *listens* when I talk. When we worked in the same building, I used to go into his office just to sit with him because he radiates quiet, calm strength. I'd be a fool to dismiss him as a friend and person simply because he chooses to believe something I hold no truck with.
The flip side is knowing plenty of theists, and some atheists, who are ignorant on their own unique levels and annoy the ever living fuck out of me in their own special, precious little ways, like the kind you described in your original posting.
