Does he still like me?

Saw a guy for a short while. He didn’t want to continue because we have religious differences which he thought would be an issue eventually. We stayed friendly, but sometimes I just cannot bring myself to talk to him or even look at him when we are around each other cuz I fell for him and interacting with him doesn’t really help trying to get over him. I am pretty sure he doesn’t know I fell for him but even after I avoid him and his questions or don’t talk like I used to (before we saw each other) or pretend like he doesn’t exist, he is still super nice to me. Always gives a sweet smile and tries to interact or talk when we’re in a group setting. Does he still like me or is he just being friendly or does he feel sorry for me or is he just feeling guilty because he thinks/knows that it must’ve hurt me? It’s really confusing with him and he kinda avoids conflict and confrontation because he is scared it might hurt the other person’s feelings. I can’t even bring it up with him. What do I do if I want to bring him back?
