How can I befriend someone who doesn't tolerate my religion?

Well…there is a guy at class, from a different religion.Ver why nice to talk too.Untill it gets to religion.He just simply can’t except that there is no other God than his God.I told him yes I understand.I feel very uncomfortable when he talks about that.Can’t he see that I am in no position to talk about religion and stuff owing to the fact that I hardly go to church myself.He always wants to debate about peoples beliefs.Which is fruitless in my point of view.You can’t really trully debate about things that are connected with one’s faith.Even the bible said something about,faith is believing when not seeing I think.SO what the hell’s the point.He told me that the scriptures had been chaged through out the centuries.But there’s still a lot of people believing in it right?I .”But Haven’t you watched the Davinci COde?” Yes and so what??It’s fiction! That’s what I have to deal with with him.I really want to be his friend.I feel that we connect very well,but religion is the only thing setting us apart.What should I do?
