Well, it sounds like you and he certainly went in the opposite directions from what you used to be. You say you hate organized religion and you were the one fighting to get the kids baptised. He was the one you had to convince to get them baptised and now he is a total right winger.

It's a no-win situation. Like Bruce said...avoid him when you can. When you have to be near him, be cordial. If he starts talking religion, tell him you aren't comfortable talking about it with him and change the subject. If he keeps it up, remove yourself from the situation.

I am republican, but far from a right winger. I'm, I guess, what you'd call a moderate. I'm pro-choice, pro-gun and anti-big socialistic government. And I absolutely hate goody-goody soccer moms whose only political view is that they are religious and hate abortion. There is more to politics than abortion.

Anyway, I hope I've been helpful.
