I've never had more than a handfull of friends at a time. And you're right about the circle of true friends seems to grow smaller as we mature.
Friends vs acquaintances.

I’m lucky that I don’t have any religious friends. I did date 2 women who were religious and things were fine until I was made to feel guilty for not attending church. When it became their personal mission to “save my soul is when the whole relationship fell apart. Plus, they had unresolved guilt about sex. It seems the better it was the worse they felt. Irrational self imposed guilt. Surprisingly, my family, Roman Catholic, exhibits no pressure to conform. We all do as we please. Some attend church, others do not and nobody gets bent out of shape over it. Have your friends tried to “convert” you?

Everything could be right about the girl... She may be smart, beautiful, have a knock out body, fun loving, outgoing, etc... However, ONCE she starts going down the line that gives me the impression that she is even remotely into ny form of religion, I'm out of there... Three years ago a lady fooled me, to try and get close, once she began suggesting that we attend church on a Sunday, I disappeared "like a bat bolting hell"...

If they weren't perfectly ok with hypocrisy, they couldn't be Christains.

Are there any Christian guys you want to get romantically involved with? If not, you can tell your nosy pals to watch you not care. About having a smaller circle of friends, be careful. You want to cultivate friendships with younger people, cuz as you get older, your current friends who are roughly your age will die off. My poor 93 year old Dad has this issue. Just something to consider. Good luck!

I believe as you get older a smaller circle of friends is normal. I believe real friends are rare, and yes, less tolerance for BS is part of the equation. Seems pretty normal to me.

I was married to a baptist. Believe me, I understand why you don't want it.

I have no true friends who are religious.
They're acquaintance.
No family, so that one's easy.

I'm assuming they might what them to "fix" you with the power of love, I know my family has wished this upon me.
