[quote=Anonymous]Not family, but I grew up devoutly Catholic and had a very close ("best" in kid language) friend who shared my beliefs. We were like sisters. When I became an atheist in college she couldn't take it and eventually dropped me. Her parents still live across the street from mine so we still see each other at holidays, etc, and we are facebook friends, but nothing beyond that. The thing that always got to me about losing her friendship is that she has a large and diverse group of friends, including other nonbelievers, but she took personal offense to my evolving beliefs. I think I'll always mourn the loss of that friendship, unfortunately. Sometimes people are much less tolerant of differing beliefs in those closest to them than they are when the different beliefs belong to strangers or casual acquaintances. More threatened maybe?
