Scenario

When religious differences strain close friendships

My best friend and I used to share everything about our spiritual journeys but she's become deeply religious in a way that makes me feel judged for my questions and doubts. We've been close for fifteen years and now there's this careful distance between us that neither of us acknowledges but we both feel.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Sacred certainty in one creates sacred doubt in another, and the friendship must learn to hold both without choosing sides.
