If your religious inclinations, or lack of them, often confuse others or isolate you from them in some way, what form does this take? Is it ever a source of tension?
Do you ever find that there is a gulf between yourself and people who have known you for a long time but went in a very different direction to you concerning religion?
I've been meeting a lot of old friends recently. Its been great but my long-term interest in meditation and Taoism has meant I've changed in ways that are very difficult to relate in some sensible way to them. My lifestyle is so unusual in comparison, my political and philosophical attitudes, sense of identity, interests, habits, personal experiences, personality, my whole world seems different. I wish there wasn't a significant divide but there certainly is.
