You still like me?

Someone I have worked with for quite awhile came upon my bible today and said..."So, you are like way religious?"
For lack of a quicker, easier response, I said yes.
Then they said "and you still like me?"
I said "of course."
But how sad that someone would think, upon learning that I am "religious", that they would think our friendship would be gone. Whether a reflection on christians or me, it is not a good one.
