The respecting each others belief point... that could be something for you guys to work on?

I'm an self-avowed atheist and a scientist-in-training so I'm not exactly qualified in the religious field, but I do think that tolerance and respect for what other people believe is vital for peace in the world at large and between individuals.

You don't have to accept other people's beliefs, you can quietly laugh about them, sure, but you should, in my opinion respect them, simply because we are all human, and all equal.

So maybe agreeing to disagree on your beliefs, not trying to force the other one to accept them, and respecting the fact that you believe different things would help this point? It doesn't mean you have to compromise your own beliefs at all. Many religions preach (and some even practice) tolerance, and that's the best idea I've heard any of them come up with :-)
