I don't particularly enjoy talking about religion, because the religion I was raised with when you talked about God or Jesus, or religious topics it always seemed to be to "spread the gospel". Now that I no longer follow that religion, or even remotely agree to it's principals I do avoid religious speak.
Why? I guess I feel when religion is being discussed I immediately go on the defensive feeling that other people are trying to push their beliefs on me. It kind of depends how the approach into such a religious conversation goes. "I believe this, so I live like this" I'm fine with that, but "Jesus did this so we could live like this"; I've already started ignoring you at that point.
