That I believe in Goddess instead of "God".

Let me explain. I'm friends with this strict Christian person who takes his religion seriously. He refuses to be friends with atheists and does not take too kindly towards those of a different religion than the one he has; Christianity. Specifically, he is a Roman Catholic.

I'm friends with him, problem is, he wants me to join his church. He says I have to convert next year or he will seriously consider not being my friend anymore. I don't want to become a member of his church because I believe in Goddess. That is to say, I believe that the creator of the universe is female.

If he knew this he would be very angry at me. I don't want to lose his friendship, but nor do I want to be punished by him...like not being allowed gaming for a while (something he's done to me in the past).

If I lose him as a friend I will practically have no friends and since I am out of college I doubt i will be able to find new friends. It's hard when you are in your 30s and to make new friends without going to local bars.

But I feel the need to tell him the truth. So what should I do?
