Agree, I have no doubt It'll reach this point at some stage.

It's Inevitable that religion Is part of the equation and always will be to some degree.

Yeah, this is true.

It's also important to remember, however, that these days at least it's mostly the minority who causes the most trouble. Their are many with whom it is easy to have a civilized conversation with on religion, there are others with whom it's absolutely futile. As an agnostic attending a kind-of religious school, i've met both type of person.

One of them will shun you, tell you your going to hell and isolate themselves among only like-minded individuals

The other will invite you to smoke a bowl and have a pretty great conversation on some interesting topics

obviously I'm generalizing here, and there are countless types in between those two.

it depends on one's personal approach, I think.
