[quote=Anonymous]I am very non-religious myself and made a friend at the playground with whom we vibe very well together - similar ideas, similar parenting styles. They're in church every Sunday. I don't know how hardcore their church is, but it's not a mainline United Methodist Rainbow Flag church. When we have been together, we say a non-religious type of "grace" before eating, but in general our different views on faith don't enter into our friendship and discussions, except incidentally or when we're having a philosophical discussion about faith and things like that. We approach each other's traditions and upbringing with curiosity but don't really make a big deal about the differences. It's probably best to keep it that way, and let the kids play; especially since their friendship might peter out as they grow older anyway or their interests diverge, and school takes precedence. If you find that you have to be personally related to these neighbor parents in a closer way, or if there are any problematic behaviors from the kids towards your kids, then I'd look into reducing contact.
