Yes, I have a dear friend who is religous Christian and very involved in her church and she is exceptionally able to share/allow me to share our perspectives. I have another Christian friend who I would share with but she's simply more of a doer than a discusser of deep, philosophical things. Jewish friends simply accept and are open to in-depth sharing because I find Jews range from non-religious to orthodox. I'd be curious to know how other religions view non-believers. My muslim friends think me so kind but have language barriers so I don't think they can really grasp my non-religious views. The friends I've had that were Buddhist are, naturally, open to non-believers. Great question, philosopearl

That's because they often see atheist as irredeemable, they think agnostic means being more convincable. Most theists I've talked to don't want to hear what I have to say and just like hearing themselves talk, especially when surrounded by others that share their beliefs. Perhaps they are conflating not actively believing in any deities with believing that there are none.

Come to think of it- no..

Mostly, they "listen" while formulating circular arguments. It isn't true interest in my thoughts as much as interest in converting my thinking to their brainwashed state.
