Scenario

When belief differences fracture friend groups

Our friend group used to be so close but then Sarah found religion and Mark became an atheist and now every gathering turns into this exhausting dance around topics we used to discuss freely. We all want to stay friends but we're walking on eggshells and the joy is gone.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The table that once welcomed every conversation now holds only careful silences, and friendship withers in the space between sacred convictions.
