Ok, I have quite a few christian friends. I however am not religious. Ive had talks with my friends about religion and they know where I stand and I know where they stand. Because they are good friends, they do not preach christianity to me. Everyone has a choice. And you MUST respect that choice.

You can talk to your friends about religion, however do NOT try to convert them. If they are interested and want to talk more, then you can continue to do so and they might choose to believe in god. However nobody likes having someone tell them how they should live their life (especially when your kicking it off with a "or youll burn forever" ending). So if they are not interested, they are not interested, leave it alone or you'll lose your friends.

Try to imagine what would happen if someone from another religion came up to you and told you that you were going to burn in hell for not believing in their god. You most likely wouldnt change you views, but youd get mighty frustrated. This is how it feels for people who are not religious when we are hounded by religious people about changing our faith. If we want to believe in a god, we'll seek him out.

RebelHeart how much have you studied other sources? did you just follow the Christian trend or did you actually put the time in effort in making sure you knew each side of the story before you commit your life to it? i know for a fact most Christians don't look both ways before crossing the road and dive straight into Christianity.
