I think he was thinking you were challenging his faith, you are right there. If anyone is comfortable in his/her faith they they would not worry about what others think about it. He was not the person for you. Take it easy, no reason to rush, find happiness in everything you do. Good luck.

She is a disgrace. One thing people need to know is that she belongs to the same religious sect as the Australian prime minister, so what is that saying.

Is your son not talking to you because you are not a believer? If yes then it make him a very bad christian. We all bring value to life, we just don't see it, especially when we feel down then it is extra hard.

Hi, welcome to the site. I have friends that are religious but there have never been any issues about me being an agnostic. We sometimes discuss it and agree to disagree. Unfortunately in the US things are not like that. There is far too much hatred towards something or someone who is not of the same opinion or persuasion as they are. Religious people there are terribly inflexible. You will have to find new friends that are not that way, and it will happen. I find those people like your friend are just afraid and that has nothing to do with religion but all to do with her being "frozen" out from the religious network that she belongs to.
