I personally have a belief in a supreme being/supreme entity/higher force (call it what you will), but I dislike organised religion that has been manipulated by man for his own benefit. At the same time, although perhaps not believing myself, I can have respect for others beliefs, after all 'belief' is an individual thing. The problem starts when others try to convince you that 'their' belief is the 'only' true belief.
Thus I am able to sit alongside any human being as long as religious discussion is not allowed. Same goes for politics, it is another divider of people and is best left out of conversation.
Remove religion and politics from conversation and you can get along with virtually everyone. It's all a matter of respect for your fellow human beings.

There is another that states that this has already happened.”... Douglas Adams 1952 - 2001
