84% of my country thinks I'll burn in hell after I die. Most of them have the good sense not to say it to my face, anyone that does gets the full rationalism argument with all the bells and whistles for being rude. Still, I don't like holding just being religious against people, it's not right. I hold actions against people, not ideology or philosophy.
Loyalty is something that comes with established trust for me. It's not just shared history, it's the attitude that develops from established respect and trust.
BTW, I'll see you in atheist heaven. I'll bring the mojitos.
