You can un follow them. You won't be able to see their posts but they'll still be your friends. You can also change your privacy settings.

I unfollow them. I don't need my feed clogged up with that stuff

I can't and don't snark on FB because I use it for a specific community. The only time I'll say something is if someone else posts a like minded thing on their wall.... maybe. 90% of the ppl in my FB list are unfortnately right wing ?
I've unfollowed a lot of people, but have caved and unfriended hateful people, and that's rampant these days, because you can see the guano psychos crying that people are blocking and unfriending over certain heinous current events."Philosophies, and politics" they cry, shouldn't come between friends....right wing whacks posting Jeffersonian quotes. smh
Serves them right tho.

I have religious friends who post religious stuff and I always answer it in a funny rude manner. When they ask me about it, I just tell them what I think in a rude funny way. So far they do not seem to either understand or they still want to be my friends.

Do these so called friends know you are an atheist? I have always let my friends know that I am a Humanist. if they sent me any religious messages I would tell them to stop as it was disrespectful to my beliefs. I’m sure you don't try to change their belief in god by sending anti-christian messages so it is reasonable for you to object to them doing this to you.

I often wonder if my comments on atheist pages appear on anyone's timeline also. It's nearly impossible to test cause who knows what FB does. I just comment away and don't worry about it. If they see it, more power to me

If the original post came from somewhere else you may have the option to block that instead. Eventually you will get most of the sources blocked. It's worked quite well for me with my southern christian conservative cousins. I also managed to block most of their pro-Trump BS articles.

I do a lot of scrolling.

“Gracias U. No estoy interesado en ver publicaciones religiosas.” I send this note to my “in-laws” in Nicaragua. No hablas ingles.

My method is to try just editing what I see from them or unfollowing if necessary. I have unfriended an old school classmate (no loss) and my sister in law who is bent on saving my soul. I couldn't post without a sermonette.

I've unfriended a lot them. The rest, I hide their posts.

I'd snooze them for a month. If you don't miss them when they come back in your feed, delete them from the feed but choose the option to stay friends.

I must be on a strange facebook site I know nobody who posts religious stuff- it mostly just funny or family news or old friends reconnecting with me -.

find some much better ones[ piss takes ] and fill their post boxes

The thing is that i know a few of them personally and they DO NOT follow at all the quotes and polite sayings that they put on FB. Can you spell hippocrit?

I also just unfollow anyone that shares too much of anything annoying.
As for seeing your posts on other sites the answer is possibly.

If someone googled you they could potentially see a post you made on an unrelated site. If facebook should at some time in the future become affiliated with or absorb those other sites, your previous comments could become visible. I personally find this extremely unlikely to happen since your posts would quickly be buried beneath new ones but the possibility does exist.

Posts you make on facebook in groups or on pages CAN be seen by your friends and no way to tell which ones will be featured on their feed. At this time your posts in closed groups are safe unless your friends are in the same group.

I "friend" no one on FB.

I have friends on Facebook posting stuff about God and Jesus. I just scroll on thru, I don't give a like, reaction, nor do I comment on it. People are going to believe what they believe and that's really it.

I simply unfollow them this way they are free to post what they want and at the same time I don't have to see it - drama avoided.

Most of the right wingers I know have uncomraded me because of my responses.

The struggle is real.

I have often wondered if there were courses you could go on that helped you chill out on all these unpleasant things I think because I was an abused child I do a lot of fingers in my ears moments when everything gets too much but that doesnt work for the written word - You could unfriend them and if they pull you on it say - "oh I am so sorry. I had too many friends and had to do a bit of pruning! in order to stay sane!'

Keep scrolling...it isn't worth it to argue. But Hallmark memes? Uhhhh....that would drive me insane...
