When friends grow apart over faith differences

My closest friend from childhood has become deeply religious while I've moved away from faith entirely, and we keep trying to connect the way we used to but there's this unspoken thing between us where we're both afraid of saying the wrong thing. We're losing each other slowly and I don't know how to bridge something this fundamental.
