That I was good friends with some people for a time, just to tell them that I don't believe in God, they stop being friends with me. Now, we have never had disagreements on anything in particular, and got along great, and hung out. But when it came to me ranting about how this one guy is using religion to manipulate people was a reason, and I how I'm Atheist was enough to write me off.
Amazing how people change their tune when you decide to let everything about you be known, especially with religion. I thought you were friends with me because you like being around me, not because of my belief in a religion.
