Meetings have made me very accepting of people with different views on these subjects than myself. One story I often return to is of a guy who had been so far gone, when he went to visit his mother the first time in years, she simply closed the door in his face without saying a word. If a man's path from that to healing involves Jesus, I am not going to stand in the way.

I can't remember ever having to explicitly ask for tolerance of my non-belief. We speak for ourselves, in the meetings and afterwards.

I should say that I'm not in the US, and that this might be reflective of being in a society where public displays of religiosity are, generally, less common and less accepted.
