I'm devastated and I hope I am wrong but a religious friend defriended me on facebook today. [View all]

I don't know why but it may be that I posted a link to my DU journals. I talked a lot about Occupy and the GOP there. Here is my journal:

I'm agnostic, have never been against religious people and she and I had even talked about how we were supporting different sides of the political spectrum in Canada (we agreed that as long as both of us were walking the walk to make the world a better place - we were in fact on the same team). She runs a centre that helps kids learn to love reading and learning. I post on the DU. I don't feel I should email her... I want to give her space and time if she is upset with me. I'm just at such a loss. She's always been a rock when we were in touch. She reminds me of all my wonderful religious grandparents who were good eggs.

Have you ever been in this situation? What did you do?
