[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shouldn't a friendship be able to handle any of these exchanges?

S: I believe vaccines cause autism
Q: What is your evidence for that belief?

S: I believe Joe Biden is a better candidate for president than Donald Trump
Q: What are your reasons for that opinion?

S:  I believe the Christian god exists
Q: What is your evidence for that belief?

Not saying there isn't disagreement, just that if a friendship can't handle exchanges of differing ideas, then it might not  be much of a friendship.

And yes, I am atheist and like most atheists the majority of my friends are believers and it is never a problem.  [/quote]

I have friends from many faiths.

You might be surprised to know that even people of the same faith might disagree on your questions.  I belong to a smaller Christian denomination and some of my church friends have very different political beliefs from mine.  We may discuss them--but we don't debate.  We agree to disagree.  Obviously we believe in God--and I believe God is not just for Christians as do other members of my religion.

It sounds like you have a negative view of Christians and do not understand that there are many, many different views within Chrisitanity.

But, as for making friends--they are made on common interests and experiences.  I have many experiences and interests far beyond my church.
