No, it doesn't matter to me what religion my friends are. I have all kinds of friends with much different religions than mine is. I respect them for believing in God. Just because they don't worship God in the same manner as I do doesn't change the fact that they actually believe in a higher power than themselves.

Nope. Religion has no bearing on whether I enjoy a persons company and have similar interests. My best friends and I have actually done things to introduce each other to our religions, actually. I've spent Passover with a good friend and her family, and later she was invited to celebrate the Summer Solstice with my family. Both experiences were great, and we each learned something about the other. It's when people decide that their religion is the only right one and try to ram it down my throat that it bothers me.

I completely agree with the last responder. I do not care opne bit if they do not try to push it on me. They are welcome to explain it to me - I find it interesting to learn about these things. But I do not want a constant joining campaine.

It wouldn't matter to me at all, unless they were intolerant or disrespectful of other's beliefs. I actually find religions fascinating & interesting, so I like that many of my friends have different beliefs than I do. If they are comfortable with it, I like to pick their brain about what their religion believes and why. Not to change their mind, just to understand where it comes from.

So long as it does not cause you to sin or grow in the wrong ways.

Not really. AS long as my friends respect me and my beliefs, and we get along on quite a good ground, I don't think it should matter that much. http://www.jerusalemexport.com is a great resource for hand crafted religious products and decorative religious items.
