A friend online said he didnt want to be friends with me because i expressed my beliefs. I get sick of this. HE goes on and on about his junk but if say anything he dumps on me and calls me crazy.

I get that all the time - people who want to be paid attention and be listened to, but do not want to reciprocate. As soon as I discover that it is a one-way street and they don't want to hear from me I cut back on the time I spend listening to them til they get the hint and go away.

Yeah, I understand that. But you have to remember that for NTs online friendships are not as important as "real" friendships (meaning: people they're regularly meeting and socialising with in person). They're usually not taking online friendships all that seriously. So, if that guy doesn't want to talk to you anymore, you've got no choice but to accept that, and go looking for new friends. And if he doesn't want you to express your beliefs, he probably didn't think of you as a friend in the first place. :/
