Well, it's a relationship, not a religion. Religion leads to certain death (no eternal life in heaven, because earthly practices are meaningless without true devotion). Going to church doesn't make anyone any better. Though, truly believing in your heart, and living your life as a good person will have you seen as a "child of God." So, your truly believing friends may see this as extremely comical. All of these panels are described in the bible as idolatry. People who practiced such religions were wiped out in the old testament, by God's order (to the Israelites), and doing.

I acknowledge that I am assuming a lot about your friends. For that, I am sorry if this is completely not applicable.
