I would not fake being any body or any thing you are NOT just to please another..... I would recommended that you be your self and only state that which you feel - I personal only want people to like me or to be my friend based on the real me and not the me that must be or do what I think another expects from me in order to be their friend.

I NEVER judge a possible new friends based on their religious belief - for or against Christ..... I leave that up to God, and if he chooses to use to me to help lead a non-believer to Him then I am always willing and ready for the task at a hand.

.... I know a few Atheist - some are very nice and decent people.
