Religion, in and of itself, does not offend me in the slightest.

How said religion is EXPRESSED, however, would determine how I feel about it.

Then again, I feel exactly the same about Atheism. If someone is an Atheist but they're an asshole about it, that's far more of a deal-breaker for me than someone who is intensely religious but treats it as a mostly personal experience (in spite of the fact that I'm probably more sympathetic to their world-view as a Secular Agnostic than I am any existing religion).

Basically, assholes are assholes, regardless of what they profess to believe in. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either trying to sell you something, or are also one of the assholes.

Exactly this. I don't care what you believe, so long as you aren't actively trying to push it onto others or trying to work it into every conversation.

Besides, I very rarely discuss religion with any of my friends and family, and when I do, it's always, "Well, I think it's this, but I could be wrong. We don't know enough to be sure."
