A few nights ago at small group we were discussing the Christian Bubble (where all you do is hang with believers, do Christian things, go to Christian places, say Christian things, buy Christian crap).
The conversation got me thinking about how it develops. I'm not convinced, moving from being a teenager to a young adult, that it can be completely avoided.
Naturally, as you get older, you choose the people you hang with more carefully. You can choose to not see the people from school/uni that you used to encounter each day. The randoms... gone. The people you don't get along with... gone. The people you're not overly close to... gone.
Over time, as you choose to draw particularly close to fewer people, will the Christian bubble develop? Perhaps.
You will have the most important thing in your life in common. If you go to the same church, you will see each other twice a week anyway.
Personally, I'm not a huge apologist for the bubble, but i understand how it happens.
