When friends grow apart over faith and spiritual differences

My closest friend has become deeply religious in a way that feels completely foreign to me and every time we talk now there's this underlying tension about what we each think is true and important and I miss who we used to be together. We're both trying to honor the friendship but neither of us knows how to bridge what feels like completely different worlds.
