Well, all I know is that my relationship with my boyfriend (we are both athiest) was almost torn apart by his mother, who was UTTERLY shocked and totally hurt that her son would have sex before marriage. We had a nice long talk, where I discussed breaking up with nwlinkvxd to her because I was so upset that she couldn't accept our decisions as adults.
I just told her I respected her beliefs, and that I, in no means, wanted to offend her or break her trust. We made a promise not to have sex in her home and worked it out as adults.
With your friend, I think you should have the same respect talk- "I'll respect your beliefs, if you respect mine."
