Yes. Yes there is. It is called "unfriend". You do it. Speak to him in person if you wish about why. Keep whatever relationship you will have with him on an in person basis.
Besides. ITS FUCKING FACEBOOK. It is NOT that critical to life.

Maybe use the same technique some do to turn religious people away from the door only with a selfie... if you know what I mean.
Annoying is annoying - reasons aside. This sounds an awful lot like the girl situation from weeks ago OP. This is precisely where Facebook gets people by the way. Trapping you into thinking this is the only way to really connect with others.
you could... message him back some ridiculous bullshit you could... avoid him like the plague you could... unfriend him altogether you could... attend one of his events you could... quite possibly torque his mom's engine real quick
you could....get the hell off faceturd.
you could... take the advice of rob & thank him sometime in the future
Thoughts_Arrive, I think you really, really need to try and stop caring so much about what other people think. It seems like you almost make yourself sick on a regular basis by overthinking what others think about you. Of course it's still necessary to care about what others think in some ways, for a person to be considerate and to navigate relatively peacefully through life, but I feel like you take that and multiply it by a million. You don't have to sweat what some dude thinks about you unfriending him on facebook. It just doesn't matter. He probably wouldn't even notice. It's not like people get notified when they are unfriended. But even if he did notice and said something, the reply could just be "I don't like getting e-vites". Whatever. I just hope that you can stop worrying to much about how people react to you. Some concern is natural, but I think you know that you're rather obsessive about it. Assuming you are generally a kind and reasonable person, you should just be yourself, behave however feels right and comfortable to you, and not worry about everyone else. They can worry about their own feelings about minor social complexities.

If it were me I would not only unfriend him but if he continued to hassle you I would be more forceful and tell him to piss off. Admittedly I have very strong feelings on religion and my right to not practice it, those feelings would help me overcome my usual people-pleasing tendencies

I'm a people pleaser, that's my issue too. I was so angry about it last night in bed. Kept thinking about it. I had a good night out with friends but when I went to bed it was on my mind what to do about it. I agree with you nonetheless.

I might just start posting music videos like Jesus Christ Pose, Heart Shaped Box and a Bad Religion song called Come Join Us. Anything to offend him lol.

I'm so pissed off because I hate when people think I need religion, do I have a sign saying save me lord or something on my head. This guy would be the son my mother never had lol (she's very religious).

I really don't see why you can't just unfriend him. That solves the problem without you having to leave Facebook. If he asks you about it just be honest and say your beliefs are not aligned and that while you're sure he's a nice guy you are travelling on different paths.

Caring too much what he will say when he sees me in class.

Gah! Why care? Do you think his opinions are worthier than yours? If yes, why - and if not, then release that unnecessary and draining worry.
Take a deep breath and realize you are yours.
And if you can't, find assistance - please - to help get you there.

Do your own beliefs mean nothing to you? I'm generally shy and have a pathological fear of conflict but my views on religion are something I will stand up and defend. It is he who is in the wrong if he tries to force his views on you so I highly doubt he would want to cause a public scene about it. Some things are worth taking a stand for
Anyway, best of luck. Find your way (or as Puscifer says, find A way - it's there, so hope you can open yourself to what YOU need to do), with or without whatever sage advice has been given.
Take it or not, find help or not, confront or not. Just face yourself and embrace or improve on what you (choose to) see.

You worry too much. I'm a middle child. Believe me, I get the people pleasing thing and the trying to smooth everything out to avoid confrontation. Sometimes you have to pull up those boots and not give a shit. Sometimes you have to care about you. You know what? That is okay.
