I'm guessing if they see the content - they're just going right past it. It's what I do when someone post thoughts and prayers.

It's being civil even when your beliefs differ.

Oh and they probably roll their eyes Really Hard. I do that.

they like you so they don't want to fall out with you ???

I think it probably is true of most of us. I don’t have any friends that I’m aware of who will confront me for my beliefs, and I don’t like being confrontational either. I don’t believe it’s my right to question anyone’s beliefs and so I don’t go out of my way to convince anyone else they are wrong until they try to convert me. I think most people, my friends included, think the same way.

Just my personal experience speaking here, of course, but most fire-and-brimstone types of any belief are fairly new converts. They've found something new and wonderful and want to share. That leads to defensiveness when everyone doesn't agree. Most people who have spent their entire lives in a churched environment are generally live-and-let-live in regards to other's beliefs.

There are many different flavors of fundamentalism. Your "friends" are maybe not the hellfire-and-brimstone, sawdust-trail types. They may be more the midwestern "if you haven't got something nice to say, don't say it" types. If they know you well, and you're a person of good character, in my experience they can just be confused, trying to reconcile your apostasy with your good works, since they "know" that "all" atheists are evil, conniving, god-haters. Especially if you're a deconvert and they knew you as a believer. This is what happened in my extended family, I've been out of the faith for a quarter century and they still think this is all just a temporary misunderstanding and that I'll come around eventually. Besides, they are all "once saved, always saved" types, and those will go through some mental gymnastics to explain your unbelief if they knew you well as a believer. If they didn't know you as a believer they'll just deny you ever were one.

Well, Bee, believe it or not, there ARE some Christians with a "live and let live" attitude. We're out there, but because of our tolerance for others of other religions, we don't say much and don't get the headlines. Maybe your friends like you so much that it doesn't matter. OR maybe your posts gave them food for thought. I personally enjoy reading atheist perspectives; otherwise,how would I understand them? I may not agree with Dawkins, but at least I can understand and respect his side.

I recently watched a video called, "15 Stupid Things Christians Say To Atheists". I just shook my head at their thoughtlessness, relieved that I was guilty of only one. But I LEARNED from the video and am the better for it.

They are planning an Intervention.

I'm pretty sure my believer friends have blocked most of my posts, as I have blocked theirs.

Hey BeeHappy'
Probably apathy is what's happening, but I have had similar experiences on FB.
I think apathy is such a large part of our culture.... that DJ Trump is in the White House ! Just be you !

Nothing unusual there, even my Facebook friends that are Christians are more likely to post something nasty about the whole "1 like = prayer" thing than rag me about blatantly atheist posts and at times sacrilegious jokes, do get a few shares though. Mind you I have a lot of atheist and agnostic friends.

No surprise to me. I have several Christian friends who are in fact quite liberal and are as upset with the xian-right as you and me. They understand that we are all more alike than we are different.

I'm leaning toward them already "unfollowing" your liberal posts, as was likely done to me; most of my childhood MK (missionary kid) friends left never post anything, comment, or react to my liberal stuff.

I've already defriended the vocal ones, who were posting hate memes against minorities.
