Arawn has some good points. Much of this post is generalization, and even though you (Steve) probably just wants to wake people up, being a human alarm clock and all, I'd say you have made lots of better attempts at it. The post seems very judgmental and unfriendly.
I agree with Arawn in that your experience with Christianity seems to stem mostly from Catholicism, and I have to admit I agree on several points in that case, primarily related to rules and shallow spirituality. However, Christianity comes in all shapes and sizes, and I was amazed to find out how different the variations are. In my opinion, it's actually several different religions (depending on your definition, of course).
I know it's an old post, but I'll still answer this question:

Does this mean we can’t be friends anymore?

Of course it doesn't!
I love you just as much as before. Jesus does too.
By the way, don't you say yourself that hanging out with people who support your path is a good idea? I don't see why that should be different here.
