Thank you so much. I really needed the reassurance because I'm a weirdo that struggles to make friends and this has be upsetting me all day.

The other people's reaction definitely seems... Unnecessary. You did nothing wrong for sure OP. You acted in no way rude or anything.

I have other friends luckily :) It's just that most live far away, so I wanted to get out there and try to make more friends. I guess I just have to keep looking.

Maybe you're a weirdo, maybe not, but you definitely weren't the weirdo here.

I don't have a choice lol. A bunch of people in my life are Christian, like my mother. I mostly get along with them tho.

People that touchy about their religion are afraid that you might have a better argument because they aren't fully believers. I always call them out on that when they get touchy about a subject. Shuts them the fuck right up.

You sound pretty normal to me. All my friends are a bit nerdy.

Just need to read the room and maybe play neutral sometimes. Getting a weird/bad look after saying what you did the first time isn't bad but read the room and don't double down if you know they're Christian.

It's not even about their religion tbh they could've spoke up but telling you not to step on the star of david definitely makes your phrasing sound like you have a problem with them rather than an interest in the subject.

I wouldn't worry, the fact you brought up faith sounds like the scope of conversation was already poor enough to lead with much else lol
