I live with one foot in each of two worlds, (liberal) Christian and agnosticism. The Christian world has been there too long to abandon; too many friends, whose faith I have no desire to attack or criticize. Why should I? It comforts them and is a philosophical guide for moral behavior. But I no longer accept it’s world view. I want to love others and treat them generously and sensitively, but I don’t want or need to be “saved” or gain “eternal life.”

Religion is the BIGGEST hoax ever played on humankind. No religion has a clue of who God is and therefore who are you

Are they respectful of your agnosticism?
I don't attack or criticize either, unless they start something. Even then, I do my best to avoid as arguing is pointless. I don't have many Christian friends, but have a few relatives of the ilk. I am sorry for those that believe, but hey, they are entitled. I'd say most have never taken an objective look at their beliefs.

I don't attack or criticize believers either. Sometimes they THINK I do, because I don't enthusiastically agree with them, or I express views that are incompatible with theirs. That is their problem, not mine.
