IMO, "belief" is overrated. I'll figure out what the real scoop is on the afterlife once I actually get there - which I'm hoping to put off for a good long time.
I know that sounds kind of flippant... but I've been browbeat by a number of christian-somethingorothers over the years and it really hasn't changed my attitude towards organized religion ("None for me, thanks"). I've learned to tune them out, smile and nod, and generally play the polite "that's nice dear" while being non-commital enough that they assume I share their beliefs. Social lubricant, for the most part. I don't normally bring up my lack of religion, because it's none of their business, really.
