I've seen people stop talking to people because they associate with a particular religion, or choose not to associate with one at all


Do you think less of one after finding out they are an atheist? Christian? Muslim?


Tell me how you feel

    I don't believe in a ? but I don't like when people with or without a religion try to force their views on others.

    the truth to this is yes, regardless of what people say...if u find out someone is deeply religious it makes you tend to shy away from that person due to knowing whats coming of it


    would u date someone with opposite beliefs?

    I'm guessing that you are religious. I would think that a kangaroo would favor a group of kangaroos over a group of penguins.

    Despite any religious convictions, they are still people and out of common courtesy we should show some respect. Whether that happens or not and the circumstances behind it is a different story.

    I'm an atheist. Because religion is an unneeded dogma used to control people.

    I wouldn't say i think an less of the person.. because i can say I don't think any less of them.. thought I DO have those stereotypes flash through my mind, and I for a second think ok.. will this person fall right into the stereotype category that does exist with some people (minority anyway), or does this person fall into the normal ? worshipping, I have nothing to fear by them, no pressure on what I do, category. If they do happen to fall into the steretype category and are indeed pressuring to follow them, or even a ? about their faith being the ONE, then I say "ya know what, I really gotta go"

    No, but I may think less of them after I hear their reasoning, and their beliefs.

    It's all good if they simply believe because it makes their life easier to bare, and all that what not.

    I think less of them if they on some "you either think my way,or else".

    That goes both ways though.

    I'm an atheist, but I think less of dogmatic atheist.

    The ones that say they are 100% sure there is no ? of any sort, and it's stupid to believe in anything else. (I haven't meet any atheist like this, but I'm sure they are out there)

    Yes and No
    Most of my friends don't have the same beliefs that I do, one of my closest friends is Muslim and I base my beliefs on Christianity, I love her to death but sometimes she may say something that causes me to think wow thts crazy in my head. Im assuming this is normal because its a view other than mine but at the end of the day were still great friends and respect each others beliefs, but when it comes to dating a persons religious beliefs will cause me to look at them differently because I could never be with someone who didnt believe in ? because you have to think about raising your kids I dont want to teach them that and thats important, I'd like for whoever I end up with to have views similar to my own.
