At work I usually take my breaks (when I can manage to get them) with a Christian that hates homosexuals and a Muslim that hates jews and a few people that enjoy our conversations. At no point does anyone get offended at one another, yet our conversations usually start from something that one of us reads in the paper that maybe doesn't offend us, but at least shocks or angers us.
However I know that at some point we are all going to be in the office over someone taking offense at our views on how religion either should or shouldn't be a basis on how certain matters in life should be. Were the whole world able to get along as my break partners and myself I think we could focus on more important issues than someone getting in a tizzy over where another rates their god of choice.
