I understand. It sounds like they're sending a cue that its not something they want to talk about. But they know you would so maybe if they ever have a question, you could be someone they could turn to at a future time. Its not a good idea I dont think to press religion/spirituality on people. I think people make the move towards religion or spirituality in thier own time. I think its ok to bring it up, and even witness it by telling your own experience, but like someone who talks too much about hot dogs, people want a change of subject sometimes. Are there any IRL discussion groups in your area? I understand wanting someone to talk to about it.
